Women’s football star set to wed men’s team kitman

SCOTLAND women’s footie star Lee Alexander has revealed she’s found her love match – with the men’s national team kitman.

The Glasgow City goalkeeper and her fiancé David Gibson, head kit manager for the Scotland men’s side, will marry next summer.

But before all that there’s the small matter of Scotland’s first appearance at the Women’s World Cup to come this week and the loved-up couple, both 27, will be able to enjoy the experience together.

David will be joining Lee in France for their final two group games against Japan in Rennes on June 14 and Argentina in Paris, the city of love, on June 19.

Lee, whose side face England in Sunday’s Group D opener, said: “We are getting married next year, so it’s a big 12 months for us.

“It’s strange having him in camp but I just let him do what he has to do. That’s his job first and foremost but everyone gets on with him. “He was a coach at Glasgow City so a lot of the girls have worked under him.

“They always say it’s either the physio room or the kit room that you go for the banter – but I don’t know about that with him.

“He’s essentially head BY PAUL THOMSON kitman for the department but he always travels with the men. He was at the Euros with us, though, so he has experience of doing tournament football and will come along after the men’s qualifier against Belgium on Saturday.

“He will miss the first game against England, unfortunately, but he’ll then take over and work alongside us. It will be good to have his support.”

The couple have been together for almost four years, with David proposing in September.

The football fanatics have timed their big day in May next year perfectly, making sure it does not clash with Steve Clarke’s hopes of leading the men’s team out at the Euro 2020 Championships.
