Having got Celtic Women into the Champions League and now delivered a trophy, it’s not hard to see why Fran is loving his time in charge of the Hoops.
His joy was shared by captain Kelly Clark, who said that delivering the Women’s first trophy for a decade was an achievement for which she “has no words.”
“I just had a feeling that this was going to happen and it’s come true. It feels absolutely amazing,” she said with an unmistakable smile etched across her face, almost reflecting off the trophy held in her grasp.
