Lana Clelland (born 26 January 1993) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays for Sassuolo in the Italian women's Serie A as well as the Scotland women's national team. She is the highest foreign goalscorer in the history of Italian women's club football.
Born in Perth where she attended Perth Grammar School, Clelland began her career at local clubs (youth teammates included future international teammate Lisa Evans)[1] before joining Rangers where she made her senior Scottish Women's Premier League debut.[2] Clelland joined Spartans during the 2011 summer break.
In December 2014, she signed a professional contract with ASD Pink Bari in the Italian women's Serie A.[3] In June 2015, Clelland transferred to Tavagnacco and in 2016–17 was the highest goal scorer in the Serie A, emulating her compatriot Rose Reilly.[4] After her 2017–18 season was disrupted by a heel injury, Clelland joined Fiorentina in July 2018.[5] In her first season with La Viola, the team defeated reigning league champions Juventus to win the Supercoppa, but lost the Coppa Italia final and finished runners-up in Serie A to the same opponents.
Clelland moved to Sassuolo in July 2021.[6]
She is the highest scoring foreign player in Serie A Femminile history with 99 goals.[7]
Clelland has appeared for the Scotland women's national team at all age group levels, beginning with the under-15 side in 2008.[8] Having continued as a prolific scorer at under-19 level, she made her full Scotland debut in July 2012 against Cameroon.[9] [10] She was selected in the Scotland squads for the UEFA Women's Euro 2017 and 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup tournaments.
