据报道，凯尔特人队和流浪者队已经与女子超级联赛就进入英格兰顶级联赛的可能性进行了初步谈判。

Nikki Doucet, the chief executive officer of the company that has taken over the running of the WSL, is exploring ways to expand the women's game, including learning from the rich history of men's football, with the added benefit of hindsight.

接管 WSL 运营的公司首席执行官尼基·杜塞特 (Nikki Doucet) 正在探索扩大女子足球比赛的方法，包括学习男子足球的丰富历史，并增加事后诸葛亮的好处。

This does not necessarily mean mirroring what has happened in the men's game, and possibilities such as the involvement of Celtic and Rangers and a closed league (like the NWSL in America) are being explored.

这并不一定意味着要复制男子比赛中发生的情况，凯尔特人队和流浪者队的参与以及封闭联盟（如美国的 NWSL）等可能性正在探索中。

Four Women's Championship teams — Bristol City, Southampton, Birmingham City and Newcastle United — are trialling a new pilot to allow fans to drink alcohol in the stands, a scheme partly given the green light because of the different demographic of fans in the women's game.

四支女子冠军球队——布里斯托尔城、南安普顿、伯明翰城和纽卡斯尔联——正在试验一项新的试点，允许球迷在看台上喝酒，这一计划部分获得批准，因为女子比赛中球迷的人口结构不同。

Scottish women's football is some way behind the English game — the Scottish Women's Premier League was only formed in 2022 when the clubs playing in the existing top two leagues decided to move the ownership and operations of the elite competitions into a new structure.

苏格兰女足在某种程度上落后于英格兰足球——苏格兰女足超级联赛于 2022 年才成立，当时参加现有两大联赛的俱乐部决定将精英赛事的所有权和运营转移到新的结构中。

As a result of Scotland's qualification for the 2019 Women's World Cup there was a significant increase in support and funding for Rangers and Celtic — previously Glasgow City had been the dominant club.

由于苏格兰获得了 2019 年女足世界杯的参赛资格，流浪者队和凯尔特人队的支持和资金显着增加——此前格拉斯哥城队一直是主要俱乐部。

Since then, however, they have not enjoyed the same level of growth in attendances and commercial success as teams in England.

然而，从那时起，他们在上座率和商业成功方面就没有享受到与英格兰球队相同的增长水平。

Celtic won the league last season — on a tense final day when Rangers could also have lifted the title had results gone their way — but are bottom of their Champions League group in the first year they have qualified for the competition.

凯尔特人队上赛季赢得了联赛冠军——在紧张的最后一天，如果结果如愿，流浪者队也可以夺得冠军——但在他们获得欧冠资格的第一年，他们在欧冠小组中垫底。

They narrowly lost 2-1 to Chelsea at Celtic Park, but there is a feeling that further investment is required in Scottish football to help those leading teams compete in Europe.

他们在凯尔特人公园以 2-1 险胜切尔西，但人们感觉苏格兰足球需要进一步投资，以帮助那些领先的球队在欧洲竞争。

It was reported last year that Rangers had held informal discussions with the FA over whether it could be feasible to join, and those exploratory conversations have continued with Women's Professional Leagues Limited (WPLL), the company that took ownership of the WSL and Women's Championship in August.

去年有报道称，流浪者队与英足总就加入是否可行进行了非正式讨论，这些探索性对话仍在与女子职业联盟有限公司（WPLL）进行，该公司在 2017 年拥有 WSL 和女子锦标赛的所有权。八月。

The WPLL, the Scottish Women's Premier League, Rangers and Celtic declined to comment.

WPLL、苏格兰女子超级联赛、流浪者队和凯尔特人队均拒绝置评。

It is understood that talks are at such an early stage that there has been no official approach to the SWPL or the Scottish FA, the latter of which would have to agree on any future proposal, which seems unlikely.

据了解，谈判还处于早期阶段，尚未与苏格兰职业联赛或苏格兰足协达成正式接触，后者必须就任何未来的提议达成一致，而这似乎不太可能。

The notice period for leaving the Scottish league is two clear seasons, which puts any possible inclusion of Celtic and Rangers far into the future, given official conversations have not yet begun.

离开苏格兰联赛的通知期是两个明确的赛季，考虑到官方对话尚未开始，凯尔特人队和流浪者队加入苏格兰联赛的可能性还很遥远。

In 2022 Michael Nicholson signed Celtic up to the Sydney Super Cup, following sustained protests from Ibrox fans their club pulled out with Everton stepping in to take up the fixtures in November 2022 ahead of the World Cup Finals.

2022 年，在伊布罗克斯球迷的持续抗议下，凯尔特人队退出，埃弗顿介入，在世界杯决赛前接手了 2022 年 11 月的比赛，迈克尔·尼科尔森 (Michael Nicholson) 与凯尔特人队签约参加悉尼超级杯。

It seems that no-one from either club is prepared to comment on the story from a reputable source, it could well be a case of testing the water to see what reaction there is to the proposal before deciding on further negotiations.

似乎两家具乐部都没有人准备对可信来源的报道发表评论，这很可能是一次试水，看看人们对该提议有何反应，然后再决定进一步谈判。
