Kelly Clark: I was buzzing to get the late winner

As a captain, there are many things that Kelly Clark is known for, from her impressive leadership skills to her brilliant defensive performances. However, one thing the Celtic captain maybe isn’t as well known for is coming up with a brace. But that is exactly what she did on Sunday, scoring two important goals in a 3-2 win over Partick Thistle – the second of which proved xtremely important, with a 94th minute winner securing a dramatic three points at Petershill. Speaking in the aftermath of that result, Clark said: “It’s a little bit of mixed emotions. We maybe weren’t great on the day, but we were buzzing to get that last goal and walk away with three points. “I was just saying to the guys, sometimes you win 3-0, you do your job, and yeah it’s a win, but you’ve just ticked a box. “But to lose the goal so late on, and then go up the pitch and score, it’s a real buzz. “So there’s a lot of energy in the changing room, and hopefully we take it, we work hard for the next 10 days and be ready for Hearts.”During her time with Celtic, Kelly Clark has scored many important goals, and the late winner against Partick Thistle was the latest to add to the collection. Admittedly, that feeling was pretty special, especially since whilst amidst the celebrations, the skipper also spotted her Dad enjoying her late goal from the sidelines. Now, the focus turns to continuing the work the squad have been putting in as Clark reflected on her late winner. “It’s always special to score, but to get two goals today and get that winner, I’m pretty buzzing,” she said. ‘I turned round and sawmy Dad climbing the walls, I think, in celebration!’ “So I’m just buzzing to give everybody that moment. We’ve been working so hard since Grant has come in. “Some things haven’t quite gone our way and we obviously dropped points midweek to a goal that we are frustrated about. “A few times, things just haven’t quite gone for us. So to give the girls that moment is everything, and hopefully, we kick on.”FixturesPartick Thistle Women Vs. Celtic Women – Sun, Mar 22nd 2026, 13:00
