Fast Fives: Cara Henderson

Partick Thistle’s Cara Henderson takes on Fast Fives after a flying start to the season, including an opening-day hat-trick against Dundee United, her first in senior football. The 21-year-old discusses helping Thistle repeat last season’s SWPL 1 top-six finish and reach a first major cup final in 53 years, against Rangers at Tynecastle. Having come through Celtic’s and Glasgow City’s youth systems before earning promotion to SWPL 1 with Glasgow Women, Henderson reflects on her football-mad upbringing and her dad’s influence. Quickfire rounds identify winger Imogen Longcake as the squad’s fastest player, defender Kodie Hay as the dressing room’s dark horse, and settle a running dispute over who is most gullible – a title Henderson insists was wrongly pinned on her back in Issue 77.
