Kirkcaldy teenager Tiegan Clark lit up the internet with a 40-yard screamer for Raith Rovers Ladies against Hibs Ladies, during an under-17s game at Easter Road. The 17-year-old’s looping shot drew comparisons to David Beckham’s iconic long-range goal against Wimbledon. Youth Football Scotland picked up the footage and posted it to the Rovers Facebook page. The video has been viewed more than 50,000 times. Take a bow, Tiegan.
