Megan’s on a Mission

Ger Harley interviews Celtic’s central midfielder Megan Sneddon, named Scotland’s International Player of the Year in November, catching her as she recovers from an accidental boot to the face picked up at the national squad’s first gathering of the year. Sneddon says the award was a shock and is careful not to claim she deserved it, while acknowledging a more consistent season. She frames the interview against Scottish progress, with Glasgow City reaching the Champions League last 16 and Scotland climbing to 22nd in the world. She values Anna Signeul’s regular squad get-togethers for team bonding, admits the 2-2 home draw with Wales at Tynecastle felt like a defeat and was a kick up the backside, and says she has received Hope Powell’s letter about Team GB but is keeping her options open.
