Delight for Paradise goalscorers after first taste of Celtic Park

On Sunday afternoon, a number of the current Celtic FC Women's squad got their first taste of playing at Celtic Park, and it proved to be a memorable experience as the Hoops beat Hearts 5-0.

The result maintains the team's place at the top of the SWPL table, and on a day when Elena Sadiku's side produced an impressive team performance, there was also a special individual display as Murphy Agnew hit a hat-trick, complemented by goals from Lucy Ashworth-Clifford and Tash Flint.

And speaking after the game, Murphy Agnew said: “We are top of the league, three points secured, so we are really pleased.

“I really enjoyed the experience of being out there. It was a really good atmosphere, and a great pitch to play on.

‘We all know how great a stadium it is, so it was a good day.’

“Our fans are amazing, we love playing in front of them and they are the best fans in the world.”

It was Lucy Ashworth-Clifford who got the scoring underway at Paradise with an early strike from a long cross to the back post which ended up in the Hearts net, and having recently returned from long-term injury, it was another special moment on a special day for the winger, who was also taking to the Celtic Park pitch for the first time.

She said: “It was good. I enjoyed it, and I think the girls did too. We put in a good performance and a show for the fans, so it was a good afternoon.
