Claire Johnstone (born 11 January 1982) is a Scottish football goalkeeper, currently playing for Glasgow City in the Scottish Women's Premier League.

Club career

After playing for Doncaster Belles at Under–18 level,[2] Johnstone moved to Scotland in February 2001, where she was signed for Kilmarnock by manager Jim Chapman.[3]

In the 2004 summer season, Johnstone played in Iceland with ÍBV and made 13 Úrvalsdeild appearances. She returned to Iceland in 2007 to play 11 games for Þór/KA.[4]

Johnstone and Suzanne Malone left Celtic for champions Glasgow City in June 2009.[5] In October 2010 Johnstone played as a substitute striker due to an injury crisis and scored in Glasgow City's 16–0 win over Aberdeen.[6]

Before the 2012 Scottish Women's Premier League season, Johnstone held transfer talks with Forfar Farmington. She played in a friendly match but the move broke down.[7]

International career

Johnstone made her senior Scottish national team debut against Moldova in April 1999.[8] For several years Johnstone was the national team's regular understudy to Gemma Fay. She scored an own goal against England in November 2003, punching Kristy Moore's corner into her own net as Scotland lost 5–0 in Preston.[9]
