History Makers! Celtic FC Women are the Champions of Scotland

On a momentous day at Paradise, the Celtic FC Women’s team clinched the SWPL title for the first time in the club’s history.

A dramatic 1-0 victory over Hibernian, courtesy of a last-gasp Amy Gallacher goal, in front of over 7,000 jubilant fans at Celtic Park was enough to confirm Elena Sadiku’s side as the Scottish Champions.

It has been an incredible journey for this Celtic team, who have written their own place into Celtic’s long and illustrious history with this title triumph.

The result against Hibernian sees the Hoops finish top of the SWPL table, with a superior goal difference to their nearest rivals, Rangers.

After 32 games, Celtic have won 26, drawn four and lost just twice, and in the process the Hoops scored 126 goals and conceded just 18.

Elena Sadiku’s side have been in impressive form, and remained unbeaten following the league split, with eight wins and two draws. It is that consistency which has delivered the title to Paradise.

Today’s historic success caps a wonderful weekend for Celtic, with the men’s team lifting the league trophy on Saturday.

And it means that, for the first time in Scottish football, both the women’s and the men’s league trophies have been won by the same club in the same season.
