The first major lockdown came while Clelland was in Italy recovering from injury.
She recalls being “only allowed out once every two weeks for shopping”, and instead focused on rehab, reading and honing her cooking and gardening skills.
“I got through it,” she says. “I could get some gym work done in the house, and I had a garden as well. The thing that kept me going was the sunshine, which was probably the better part of not being in Scotland.”
Clelland also found herself on the bench for the final four fixtures of the Serie A season as Fiorentina finished fourth and is “absolutely buzzing to show what I can do in that blue shirt again”.
Scotland continue under the direction of Stuart McLaren, who has been interim head coach since Shelley Kerr left the post in December, and the forward is impressed with the atmosphere in the camp.
“Obviously we’d like to have a manager in place, but if it takes a bit longer just to get the right person, we’ll happily wait,” she adds. “We want to be a strong group. Hopefully it gets done in the next couple of weeks.”
