'This group is special' - McGovern relishing league title

Kathleen McGovern says Hibs proved "why we're league winners" with a battling 1-0 performance at Ibrox.

Grant Scott's side headed into the game knowing a draw would be enough to seal their first league title in 18 years but managed to come out with all three points.

Striker McGovern set up defender Linzi Taylor to volley home the only goal of the game on the 74th minute and secure their first SWPL trophy since 2007.

"I'm a bit lost for words," McGovern said.

"This group is special, you've seen it all season. The consistency throughout the group has been phenomenal all season.

"It was good to grind the result out. It was a wee bit nervy at the end of the game but we put bodies on the line, the players that came off the bench, that just shows why we're league winners.

"We took it one game at a time and did our talking indoors. I think a lot of people had us written off by January but we knew what group we had. We kept working hard and you can see that in the performances.

"We had fire in the belly today, we fought for each other and we've had that all season being the underdogs."
