City twice fought back with Jenna Clark and Lauren Davidson cancelling out strikes from Shen Mengyu and Charlie Wellings. Celtic were reduced to ten after Jodie Bartle was sent off before half-time.
After finishing level in normal time, 20-year-old Atkinson stood up and struck low.
It ensured disappointment for Irish manager Eileen Gleeson as well as Clare Shine, Claire Walsh and Niamh Farrelly. It is Glasgow City’s first season without a trophy in 17 years.
