This Sunday, the Ghirls face Partick Thistle in the first of their final three matches of the SWPL season, and speaking ahead of that vital match, Ashworth-Clifford has backed the Hoops to continue their good run of league form.

“We’ve been doing well,” she said. “Hopefully we can keep pushing on.

‘It’ll be tough, but we’ve got it in us. It’s exciting. It’s a big three games.'

The midfielder explained that the team's preparation for the last week of the campaign won’t differ from their normal build-up as Elena Sadiku’s side look to secure the title for the first time in the club's history.

Ashworth-Clifford said: “We’ll do what we’ve always been doing. I’ll do the normal things, nothing changes.

“It’s the same as any other week, but hopefully there’s a good prize at the end of it.”

The English midfielder has performed well since her return in March after a long-term injury, and she aims to mark her recovery with a piece of silverware come the end of the season.

“I’m starting to feel like I’m getting back to where I was before I got injured,” she said. “Hopefully by the end of this week I can finish off a hard season with a good win.”

With only a trio of games to go, and with Celtic in pole position, Ashworth-Clifford admits that the only thing that matters now is getting the results.

"Not every game is going to be perfect. If it has to be an ugly win, that’s what it takes.

“We get the win and move on to the next one.”
