McGovern Nominated For SWPL Goal Of The Season Award
Kathleen McGovern's memorable long-range strike against Rangers in December has been nominated for the 2024/25 SWPL Goal of the Season award!
The 22-year-old scored twice as we convincingly defeated Jo Potter's side 3-0 at Broadwood Stadium in what was our final match of 2024.
McGovern opened the scoring early on before doubling our advantage with a thunderous strike from range in the second half, before Rosie Livingstone capped off the win with a fierce finish.
The result was crucial to the Hibees' end of season success, putting Grant Scott's on the path to title glory.
This nomination follows an exceptional first season at Hibs for McGovern - with the forward scoring 31 goals in 33 games across all competitions, lifting the SWPL title and scoring her first Scotland goal on her second cap.
The full list of nominees is as follows:
- Tiree Burchill (Spartans v PARTICK THISTLE)
- Chelsea Cornet (Celtic v RANGERS)
- Kirsty Howat (Glasgow City v RANGERS)
- Kathleen McGovern (Rangers v HIBERNIAN)
- Eva Thomson (ABERDEEN v Queen’s Park)
