Glasgow City Turn To Booth

Booth left his position as Stenhousemuir manager in February and this will be his first coaching role in the women's game. The all-conquering Glasgow side, who went six years without league defeat until 2014, secured an eighth successive Scottish Women's Premier League title and third successive treble last season. City became the first Scottish team to reach the UEFA Women's Champions League quarter-finals in November 2014.

Booth began his career at Aberdeen as a teenager in 1990, before moving to Germany in 1997 to play for Borussia Dortmund, where he only managed to make nine appearances.  After a spell in the Netherlands, he returned to Pittodrie in 2003 before retiring a year later. Having cut his coaching teeth in the Scotland national junior set-up, he took over at Ochilview Park in February 2014 but was relieved of his position 12 months later; the Warriors went on to secure their League One status after winning a play-off against Queen's Park.
