Katie Still's sports round-up

Katie Still presents Sports Weekly every Saturday with John Beattie

BBC Radio Scotland's Sports Weekly presenter Katie Still picks her sporting highlight of the week and picks out the events to watch out for in Scotland in the next seven days.

I thought I would just make an observation this week. Rangers football club were founded in 1873, and 135 years later they unveil a ladies team!

Yes, this week Rangers finally jumped into the 21st Century and now join Celtic, Hibs, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock; women's teams that benefit from using well established club names in the men's game.

This is going to have a significant impact on the women's game.

I was filming with Hibs Ladies during the week, and one of their players hit the nail on the head, "If you say you play for Hibs, people lift their head. People are now paying attention to women's football."

It's the less tangible things that sometimes have the most power.

So, looking ahead to this week of sport:

This week's events take place between Saturday 12 July and Friday 18 July.
