Joanne said: “It has been the highlight of my playing career so far and we had lots of belief throughout the game.

“The team has grown up together and it was great to win with my friends. My dad was there and he rarely misses a game, so it was great to see his reaction.”

“It is a major achievement as the Celtic Academy have lots of talented young players.”

Joanne has been playing for Colts since the team was formed six years ago and the trophy marks the club’s first senior honour.
