What's On
Rutherglen Ladies Exhibition

Funded by Museums Galleries Scotland, it is based on research by women’s sports historian Dr Fiona Skillen, of Glasgow Caledonian University, and football historian Steve Bolton.
During the 1920s and 1930s, Rutherglen Ladies FC’s players had to battle against the odds just to play matches, as the FA and the Scottish FA deemed the game ‘quite unsuitable for females’. A ban was enforced on December 5, 1921. Led by superstar captain Sadie Smith, the grandmother of singer-songwriter Eddi Reader, Rutherglen Ladies toured Ireland, played in exhibition games in front of thousands and raised money for charity.
The exhibition is now open at Dundee Central Library and runs until 6th January 2024. It is located on the upper foyer near Local History which holds the Football Memories Collection of books and local football programmes.
