"Celtic captain Kelly Clark believes her side fully deserved to lift the Women's Scottish Cup given the tough draw they received throughout the competition. After easing aside lower-league Dunfermline Athletic, Grant Scott's side had to beat the four sides above them in the Scottish Women's Premier League - including city rivals Rangers in Sunday's final. "We played Hearts, we played Hibs, we played [Glasgow] City and we've played Rangers, so we didn't get it easy and we've got the result every single time," 31-year-old Clark told BBC Scotland.
