Career

society

Love started playing soccer with the Largs Girls. At the age of 15 she moved to the neighboring city to the Kilmarnock Ladies, for whom she played for six years and was twice Scottish champion, cup winner and league cup winner as well as a national player during this time. In the UEFA Women's Cup 2002/03 and UEFA Women's Cup 2003/04 , however, she was eliminated with her team in the group stage. In 2006, she moved to the Cocoa Expos in the USL W-League for one season . Then she played until 2007 for the Doncaster Rovers Belles in the National Division of the FA Women's Premier League , the highest division in English women's football at the time, and then moved to Celtic Glasgow LFC . She was Scottish runner-up twice with Celtic and won the League Cup in 2010. In 2011, she moved to city rivals and series champions Glasgow City LFC and won the Scottish Women's Premier League four times in a row with the team . She also won the Scottish Women's Cup and the League Cup several times. The Glasgow women always had to qualify for the UEFA Women's Champions League , and they mastered it with ease. In the 2011/12 season she reached the round of 16 of the UEFA Women's Champions League with her team, but where they lost 0:10 and 0: 7 to the German champions 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam . A year later they were already defeated by the Danish runner-up Fortuna Hjørring in the sixteenth finals . The following year was the last sixteen , where they were defeated by the English champions Arsenal . In 2014/2015 they even made it to the quarter-finals, where they were defeated by the eventual finalist Paris Saint-Germain . After a 1: 2 defeat in the round of 16 against FC Zurich Women with the goal of the interim 3: 2 in the second leg won 4: 2 , Love had a decisive share in the quarter-finals. A year later they were automatically qualified for the knockout round, but failed in the first round against English champions Chelsea . Also 2016/2017 was already in the Round of circuit where both games against the Swedish runner Eskilstuna United were lost. In the 2017/18 UEFA Women's Champions League , Glasgow also qualified directly for the round of 32 and met the Kazakh champions BIIK Kazygurt . After a 3-0 defeat in Kazakhstan, in which it was not used, the 4-1 home win was not enough due to the away goals rule to reach the round of 16. Due to this early elimination, they had to qualify again in 2018/19 , but were able to prevail against the Belgian, Polish and Georgian champions. In the knockout round, they went to Barcelona twice, but first to the Cypriot champions Somatio Barcelona FA , where after a 2-0 away win they lost 1-0 at home. In the round of 16 they lost twice to the women of the Spanish FC Barcelona (0: 5 and 0: 3). In total, Love has appeared in 36 CL games for Glasgow so far, in which she scored nine goals.

National team

At the age of 14, she was appointed to the Scottish U-18 team in March 2000. Love made his debut for the Scottish national football team on March 1, 2002 at the age of 16 against Canada in the only Algarve Cup participation of the Scottish women to date. Nine years later, on March 2, 2011, she also made her 100th international match against Canada - but this time at the Cyprus Cup - at the age of 25 as the fourth Scottish woman after Pauline Hamill , Julie Fleeting and Gemma Fay . In qualifying for the Euro 2009 they failed in the playoffs to Russia , in qualifying for Euro 2013 in the playoffs with a last-minute goal to Spain and in qualifying for the 2015 World Cup in the first round of the playoffs Dutch women . Love was used in all playoff games. It went better in qualifying for the EM 2017 . With seven wins and only one defeat, the Scottish women as runners-up benefited from the fact that the number of final round participants was increased to 16 and they were thus qualified for the final round for the first time. Love was used in all eight games and scored six goals. At the EM it was used in the three games. In their first European Championship game they met England and lost 6-0. Love came on in the 76th minute when the score was 4-0. In the second group game, in the 1: 2 against Portugal , she was substituted on in the 82nd. In the third game, which they won 1-0 against Spain, she was in the starting line-up, but was substituted after 73 minutes. Since Portugal and Spain also lost to England, but the Spaniards won 2-0 against Portugal, the Scottish women were eliminated as third.

In qualifying for the 2019 World Cup , it was only used in the first and fourth game. The Scottish women qualified for the first time for the World Cup, where they met England in their first game, as in the European Championship.

On May 15, 2019 she was nominated for the World Cup . At the World Cup, where the Scottish women were eliminated after the group stage, it was not used.
