“We are delighted to be returning to The Albert Bartlett Stadium for both Play-Off Final matches. It is a fitting venue for fixtures of this importance, and I would like to extend our thanks to Airdrieonians FC for their support as hosts.”
Aileen Campbell, Chief Executive of Scottish Women’s Football, said: “The strong collaboration between SWF and SWPL to support an ever-maturing pyramid within the women’s game is important to enable Championship teams to advance their ambitions.
“The play-offs represent an exciting culmination to a competitive Barclays Scottish Women’s Championship season and illustrates not only the growth but also the depth of talent within our sport.
“We look forward to what we know will be a great event in Airdrie and hope lots of fans come along to support their teams.”
