Kirsty Howat Targets More Silverware

KIRSTY HOWAT wants Rangers to ‘kick on’ as they get set for a crucial final two months of the campaign.

The Gers have already claimed the first silverware of the season retaining the Sky Sports Cup in March as they now target further silverware with two more trophies on the line.

Speaking to RangersTV as they get set to make their return from the international break in a clash against Glasgow City tomorrow afternoon, the forward says the squad puts pressure on themselves to deliver further success.

She said: “It is a massive couple of months for us.

“We have already got a bit of silverware and I think we can really use that to kick us on.

“It is a massive game on Sunday. It is quite hard during international breaks as we have a lot of players away.

“We will regroup and prepare the same way as we have been all season.

“We will do our analysis on City and be ready to go come Sunday.

The forward has recently made her return from injury having been involved in both goals in the side’s last outing against Hibs and she feels all the options in the Gers frontline will have a part to play in the coming months.

She continued: “It was good, obviously we showed a lot of resilience to come from 1-0 down to then go on and win 2-1 quite late on in the game.

“Me and Rio since I have come back in from injury have been training a lot together.

“Obviously we had a good partnership at the start of the season so it is definitely something that we will look to try and use again in this part of the season that we are going into.

“I work well with Rio; the other two strikers Jane and Sarah are really good to work with as well.

“I have just had the luxury of playing with Rio quite a lot at the start of the season, it was good and I was glad I was able to set Rio up.

“I think with the four of us it is all very competitive.

“We train well together and we obviously compete against each other. Any one of us that is on the park we can go and do a job and make an impact.

“It is good to have two of us on the pitch and then two of us on the bench to be able to come on and make that impact. It is great competition and we all thrive off that.

Sunday will mark the start of a three-game week for the Light Blues and the 26-year-old feels it is something they enjoy being a part of, with a busy schedule to come heading into the run-in.

She added: “It is great, we want to play games.

“This is why we are here we want to play games; we would rather probably play games than training to be honest.

“We have prepared every single week; on a Wednesday we do big sessions anyway so we are used to that high demand. We are all looking forward to it.”

Tickets for the match are available to purchase here, kicking off at 3pm tomorrow afternoon at Broadwood Stadium and priced at £7 for adults and £4 for concessions and juveniles.
