Howat Makes History With Back To Back Player of the Month Awards

RANGERS forward Kirsty Howat has been named the ScottishPower Women’s Premier League Player of the Month winner for October.

The striker has made history as she becomes the first ever SWPL player to win the award on back-to-back occasions, after claiming it for the first time in her career in September.

The 26-year-old enjoyed a brilliant month for the Light Blues, as she continued her fine form in the opening months of the new campaign.

Her performances included getting on the scoresheet on four occasions in the Gers’ 7-0 win over Hibs at Ibrox, in doing so scoring her first ever goal in the stadium.

The forward found the back of the net six times overall in four starts whilst also providing two assists.
