This bit doesn't bode well
The former Ayr United assistant took charge of Scotland's first four Nations League A games last year - all defeats

Senior Team / 03 Mar 26 - WCQ: Switzerland 2 v 0 NI

From what I saw, we were never at the races, even despite only being 1-0 down at H-T, and the Swiss only getting their second in injury time.
The girls worked hard, for little or no reward, while Switz might have won by four. It's hard to see how we can turn it round in the home leg, esp with our big problem being that in the absence of Simone Magill/Rachel Furness, there are no goals in our team.
Sounds familiar?

Senior Team / Kris Lindsay appointed Senior Womens' Interim Manager
« Last post by EalingGreen on January 28, 2026, 05:34:49 pm »Northern Ireland have appointed Kris Lindsay as interim manager for their first pair of 2027 Women's World Cup qualifiers in March.
Tanya Oxtoby left the post to manage Newcastle United in November after two years in charge and, with no permanent replacement appointed, Lindsay will take charge of games away to Switzerland on 3 March and home to Turkey four days later.
Lindsay, who is currently manager of the Northern Ireland men's under-16 team, was previously at the helm of Irish Premiership side Dungannon Swifts, and served as first-team coach for Cliftonville and Glenavon.
Lindsay was also first-team coach for the Northern Ireland women's team when Gail Redmond was interim manager between the reigns of Oxtoby and previous manager Kenny Shiels in July 2023.

Senior Team / Re: Kenny Shiels to leave women's team managers role
« Last post by EalingGreen on January 26, 2026, 11:14:48 pm »Kenny Shiels wants to become the Northern Ireland women’s team manager again three years after exiting the role.
Sunday Life Sport understands that the legendary Shiels has applied for the position which became vacant in November 2025 when his successor Tanya Oxtoby left for the head coach’s job at WSL 2 side Newcastle United.
Applications for the post closed on Friday and it is believed the IFA have had ‘considerable interest’, but few if any of the applicants will be as fascinating as former Coleraine, Ballymena, Kilmarnock and Derry City boss Shiels, who famously made history when he was in charge of Northern Ireland Women, inspiring the team to qualify for Euro 2022 – their first major tournament.
Clearly the 69-year-old, whose last managerial role was at Moyola Park in 2025, feels he has unfinished business.
