Fran Alonso reckons Celtic’s Scotland stars should be heading off on a cap call after watching them dump Partick Thistle 2-0 to stay in the title hunt.
Amy Gallacher opened the scoring before Jags defender Rosie Slater hit an unfortunate own goal, turning in Shen Menglu’s cross, to seal it. With international ties over next two weeks, the Hoops are without a single player in the Scotland squad for friendlies against Australia and Costa Rica – Parkhead captain Kelly Clark a notable omission. Alonso said: “We should have much more, especially with Scotland, we should have players away. For some reason they are not but maybe that will benefit us.”
There was no change at the top of the SWPL as rivals Rangers beat Hibs 2-0 with boss Craig McPherson absent following Monday night’s headbutt on Alonso. Kirsty Howat and Sam Kerr were on target for Rangers, who are third.
