Kozlova and Gray win SWPL Player of the Month Awards for September

Nicole Kozlova and Cara Gray have scooped September’s Scottish Women’s Premier League (SWPL) Player of the Month awards for season 2025/26, supported by Park’s Motor Group, as their fellow clubs selected them as the standout players of the month.

In the ScottishPower Women’s Premier League (SPWPL), Nicole Kozlova has played a pivotal role in ensuring Glasgow City sat top-of-the-table come the end of September, scoring three goals in the month which included a decisive winner at Ibrox, in City’s 1-0 win over local rivals Rangers.

The Ukraine International also scored a brace in Glasgow City’s dominant 5-1 victory over Heart of Midlothian in which the forward completed 100% of all dribbles and ended the game with an 87% pass accuracy.

In the ScottishPower Women’s Premier League 2 (SPWPL 2), Cara Gray’s goalscoring form has helped Kilmarnock keep pace at the summit of the table. Kilmarnock are the high scorers in SPWPL 2, with many of these credited to Gray who scored four times across the month, making her the joint-top goal scorer in the league.

Gray bagged a first-half hattrick as Kilmarnock notched a 5-0 victory over East Fife at the MGM Timber Bayview Stadium. This impressive performance from the Glasgow City loanee was recognised with both a spot in the SWPL Team of the Week and earned Gray the Star Player award.

The other nominees for the September 2025 SWPL Player of the Month award, supported by Park’s Motor Group, were Tegan Bowie (Hibernian), Carly Johns (Heart of Midlothian), and Mia McAulay (Rangers) and for the SWPL 2 award were Ronaigh Douglas (Spartans), Ami Robertson (Boroughmuir Thistle), and Sophie Timlin (Gartcairn).
