Afterwards a delighted Kelly told the BBC that it was a dream come true and said her family would probably have been in tears watching it all unfold this evening. Watch Kelly’s goal and her post match interview below and read the touching letter she wrote to her younger self too…well done Kelly! Now, it’s time for 3 points against Hearts at the weekend to get the Celtic show back on the road!
