As well as the men’s team, 2023/24 was a hugely successful campaign for Celtic Women.
Despite managerial change midway through the season, the Ghirls won their maiden SWPL title, finishing the season on a remarkable 82 points from 32 games.
Boss Elena Sadiku had a difficult job in taking over from fan-favourite Fran Alonso but the Swede has taken like a duck to water and made history.
Central to the team’s success, particularly in the second half of the campaign, was the return of Natasha Flint.
The attacker initially joined Celtic at the beginning of 2023 before signing for Liverpool that summer. In the first half of 2023/24, it didn’t work out for her at the Reds and she returned to Glasgow on loan in January this year.
With 11 goals and three assists in 14 appearances this season, the 27-year-old was nothing short of pivotal in the Hoops’ history-making title win but now, she appears en-route to the States.
According to The Scotsman, USL Super League side The Tampa Bay Sun are leading the race to sign Flint.
She will join the club on a free this summer following the expiry of her Liverpool contract.
After more or less confirming her Celtic departure last week on X, the striker looks set to move onto pastures new after playing a key role across two spells at Parkhead.
