My darling boy, Yogi, died peacefully in my arms on Monday, whilst at home in his garden. I got Yogi at 7 wks old, when I moved out my parents, almost 14 yrs ago. There are no words to describe the pain of his loss. He was my greatest companion. I will miss & love him forever ❤️

We stand today with Glen Kamara, and others who suffer at the hands of racism.
Today’s decision to stand rather than take the knee is a show of solidarity by our players to enhance the message that racism in any form is unacceptable and has no place anywhere in society.

It feels like I haven’t had much of a life over the last 18 months but hard work certainly pays off. Last night, at the Palace of Santoña in Madrid, not only did I graduate with a Master in International Sports Law but I also finished top of my class with an honourable mention 🤓

My beautiful boy just back a walk.
He’s a very old man now with arthritis & spondylosis. He spends most of his days sleeping. Despite his mobility issues, he still loves his walks and is as nosey as ever (when awake). He may be 12, going on 13, but he’ll always be a baby to me!

Baby boy is 13 years old today… and about 80 in dog years ❤️ It’s not been the easiest year for him in terms of his arthritis and mobility problems but he’s still as sharp as a tack (and huffy) 😊 He’s enjoying his day with sausages for breakfast and salami sticks for lunch 😋

I’ve enjoyed my time at DUFC and gained invaluable experience over the last two years. However, the time has come to move onto pastures new. I’ll be staying within football but taking a few weeks to recharge the batteries before taking on my next challenge.

We can confirm that Head of Football Administration and Legal Affairs Laura McCallum has left the Club to continue her football admin career development.
We'd like to thank Laura for everything she has done in her time here and wish her all the best.

Not a single case of on-field transmission of Covid-19 has been found in football, rugby, or American football. If accurate, such findings could provide a strong argument that outdoor sports, at all levels, can be played with minimal risk to participants.

Number of women playing football has almost doubled in last 5 years. In 2015, some 9,286 women were playing football in Scotland. Today’s figure is just over 17,000. This is testimony to the hard work put in to increase exposure and introduce pathways. 👏🏻
