Double deadline day deal as Celtic FC Women complete moves for Emma Lawton and Morgan Cross | OneFootball

Celtic Football Club are delighted to announce the double deadline day signing of Emma Lawton and Morgan Cross.

The duo have signed three-year deals with the club.

Joining from Partick Thistle and Motherwell respectively, both arrive at Paradise with international experience having featured for Scotland at under-23s level.

Lawton joins the Hoops after spending several years with the Jags, having initially come through the Celtic Academy.

Following spells with the likes of Manchester City and Thistle, the defender’s development has continued to grow year-upon-year, and her performances last season were rewarded with a place in the PFA SWPL Team of the Year.

Cross is another familiar face to the Scottish game, spending time most recently with Motherwell.

Following a spell in America and at Coventry City, the striker returned to her homeland last season, and has already made a strong start to the 2024/25 campaign.

In the most recent match-up between the Celts and Motherwell, Cross was on the scoresheet with an impressive individual strike as Elena Sadiku’s side ran out 5-1 winners.

The two Scottish youngsters become the latest additions to Elena Sadiku’s squad on deadline day, adding to the options in defence and attack.
