“I’m delighted that Clare has decided to extend her time with Glasgow City FC,” head coach Eileen Gleeson added.

Shine — who has scored 10 goals in 27 appearances this season — and Gleeson are two Irish names currently on the books at Glasgow, with Niamh Farrelly, Claire Walsh and Aoife Colvill also featuring this season.
Glasgow were denied 15 in-a-row when Ciara Grant’s Rangers won their first-ever Scottish Women’s Premier League [SWPL] title earlier this month, but their sights remain on silverware.
“All focus is on the cup final,” Dubliner Gleeson said in the aftermath. “It really is an exciting couple of weeks for the club and the team, and an opportunity to challenge for silverware.”
City face Celtic, home to Irish duo Tyler Toland and Izzy Atkinson, in Sunday’s decider at Tynecastle [KO 4.10pm, live on BBC ALBA].
