Kirsty Howat: Special To Score At Ibrox

KIRSTY HOWAT says it was a special moment to score at Ibrox with the striker finding the back of the net on four occasions in Rangers’ rampant 7-0 win over Hibs this afternoon.

The striker opened the scoring on the day were the Gers were impressive throughout as she continued her fine scoring streak of late.

Speaking to RangersTV after the win the striker said:

“I love scoring goals and to do here at Ibrox is really special. I have been a fan all my life, it is a really good moment but I think overall seven goals against Hibs who are one of the top sides in the league is really impressive.

“Goals again coming from all over the park. I am delighted to get the four but overall we can be really happy with the team performance.

“I think it was very dominant performance. We are really happy to score seven against a top side like Hibs is great and to do it in front of the fans and here at Ibrox it has made it a really good occasion for us all.”

The September SWPL player of the month winner feels the team started the game well and praised the resilience of the squad in finding the breakthrough before kicking on shortly afterwards.

She continued: “We started the game really well, had a few good chances and we are probably disappointed not to ahead a wee bit earlier than we did.

“We were resilient, persevered and we managed to get that goal about the half-hour mark and from then on it really allowed us to kick on and grow in confidence.”

The forward was delighted the team were able to repay the supporters that made the trip to the stadium today as attention now turns to a huge Old Firm clash in seven days time.

She added: “That is what we spoke about before the game, is going and wanting to show those fans what we are about and hopefully that will attract them to come back again. It is obviously great to be here at Ibrox and we'd love to see them backing us at Broadwood as well.

“A big massive thanks to all the fans that came out and it is great as well to so many young girls and boys coming and supporting us there for signatures and photos after the game it is really good.”

“It is another big game come Sunday. We can reflect on this game, analyse it, rest up and recover and we go again on Tuesday to put the preparation in for a big game on Sunday.”
