United Kingdom: In a remarkable display of skill and determination, Alba, the 9-year-old daughter of Paul and Lyndsay Doherty, is rewriting the rules of sports history. She has been signed by the Rangers Football Club.
Alba’s astonishing abilities on the field have earned her a spot with the Rangers, making her the youngest girl ever to be signed by a national performance team, according to official sources. Despite her age, the young Alba has already shown immense promise, standing head and shoulders above her peers.
Her recent signing at the under 14 level, the starting point for National performance football, has turned heads and raised eyebrows in the sporting world. It is worth noting that Alba’s birth year places her at an even younger level than her teammates, with her October 2013 birthdate just two months shy of 2014.
Alba’s journey to this groundbreaking achievement has been paved by her involvement with two of the nation’s top boys’ academies. Her training and experiences with these prestigious institutions have undoubtedly played a pivotal role in her rapid rise to success.
Remarkably, Alba was courted by not just one but three prominent football clubs—Celtic, Hearts, and Rangers—all expressing interest in her incredible talents. Despite her status as a devoted Celtic fan, Alba made the thoughtful decision to embrace the opportunity with Rangers.
The Rangers Football Club, founded in March 1872 by four teenage boys as they walked through West End Park (now Kelvingrove Park), is a Scottish professional football club based in the Govan district of Glasgow.
They play in the Scottish Premiership and have always worn royal blue shirts during their matches to represent their Rangers Football Club. Rangers have won the Scottish League title a record 55 times, the Scottish Cup 34 times, the Scottish League Cup a record 27 times as well as the domestic treble on seven occasions.
