SWPL: Celtic’s player wins May player of month prize

The forward claims the award for a second time in the season after beating Hibernian’s Jorian Baucom, Victoria Esson of Rangers and Jade McLaren of Montrose to the prize; St Johnstone’s Ellie-May Cowie won the SWPL2 award.

Celtic forward Amy Gallacher and St Johnstone midfielder Ellie-May Cowie have won the SWPL and SWPL 2 player of the month awards for May.

The prize caps off a great end to the season for Gallacher who scored the winning goal to seal the SWPL title – in the last minute against Hibernian on the final day of the season.

Gallacher, who also won the award in August, scored three goals in May as Celtic drew with Glasgow City, Rangers and beat Hibernian to win their first top-flight title.

The 25-year-old finished the club’s top scorer with 25 goals – finishing just behind Aberdeen’s Bayley Hutchison in the race for the golden boot – and provided the most assists with 19.

She beat Hibernian’s Jorian Baucom, Victoria Esson of Rangers and Jade McLaren of Montrose to the prize.

Elsewhere, Cowie also won the SWPL 2 award for the second time this season – having previously won it in March.

She scored five goals in four games across the month, beating Ashley Fish (Livingston) and Ami Robertson (Queen’s Park) to the award.
