CELTIC FC HAVE confirmed that Republic of Ireland international duo Tyler Toland and Izzy Atkinson have left the club.

Atkinson, 20, scored the extra-time winner as Celtic overcame Glasgow City in May’s Scottish Women’s Cup final.
The Dubliner joined from Shelbourne in February 2021.
Toland, 20, departs as a double cup winner, having also helped the club to the 2021 Scottish Premier League Cup.
The Donegal midfielder signed in July 2021, in the wake of her departure from Manchester City.
Both Irish internationals regularly featured for Fran Alonso’s side, perhaps more often off the bench.

Toland made her senior international debut at 16 but has been omitted from the Ireland squad since November 2019 due to a dispute with manager Vera Pauw. Atkinson is a regular inclusion.
It’s been a busy few days of Ireland WNT transfer news, with Amber Barrett among others set for a big summer switch.
We are pleased to announce @RueshaLJ has signed a new one-year contract! 🗣️
Ruesha Littlejohn, meanwhile, has signed a new one-year contract at Women’s Super League side Aston Villa.
The well-travelled Ireland midfielder joined the club ahead of the 2021/22 season, and made 20 appearances in the Claret and Blue.
“I’m delighted to be extending my stay at Aston Villa,” 32-year-old Littlejohn said. “It’s a club with a vision and a bright future. I’m delighted I get to be part of the plans going forward.”
“I’m looking forward to starting pre-season and being able to grow as a player and a person at this phenomenal football club.”
