I Know Best: Episode six

I Know Best is back and Robbie Hanratty joins host Gordon McColm as they look back at the SWPL Cup Final, pick out their soundbites of the week, make some bold predictions, and more.

The story of how Celtic won the SWPL Cup

Celtic beat Glasgow City 1-0 to claim the SWPL Cup final at Firhill and end an 11-year wait for silverware.

Caitlin Hayes' first-half header was decisive in front of a record 3,645 fans - the highest attendance for a domestic women's cup final in Scotland.

And Celtic could have won by more had it not been for the heroics of Glasgow City goalkeeper Lee Alexander.

Anyone’s Game pair Gordon McColm and Chris Toner were there to record this special episode of the podcast.

Caroline Weir exclusive

Anyone’s Game caught up with Scotland and Manchester City star Caroline Weir for an exclusive chat.

The 26-year-old, who has 13 goals in 81 caps so far, will be a crucial player as Scotland take on Ukraine and Spain in this month’s double header in an attempt to qualify for the 2023 World Cup.

Talking to Gordon McColm and Robbie Hanratty, she covered topics such as her love of Dunfermline Athletic, rubbing shoulders with the world’s best at Manchester City, and which besties will be leaving her off the Christmas card list after missing out on her dream five-a-side team.

How the SWFL Cup and Plate were won

Murieston and Bishopton were the big winners on Sunday at the Tony Macaroni Arena.

Caitlyn Stewart’s goal earned Murieston a 1-0 win over Ayr United development in the SWFL Plate final.

Then Jennifer McMahon, Laura Inglis, Donnelly and Danielle Mullen all scored in a 4-0 win for Bishopton over Bayside to win the SWFL Cup.

Anyone’s Game were there, and we tried something a bit different to cover the two finals.

Including interviews with Murieston pair Caitlyn Stewart and Stephen Hegarty, Ayr boss Colin Fulton, Bishopton co-manager and chairman George Morrison, and Bayside captain Kerry Walker and manager Ross Wortley, we put together a special podcast telling the story of the day.

From the SWPL to the Olympics
