Elena Sadiku's Celtic now stare down a huge encounter in the UEFA Women's Champions League tonight against Chelsea in Glasgow, as the Hoops aim to record their first win of the 2024/25 campaign – having lost to FC Twente and Real Madrid so far.

After tonight, the Celtic FC Women's team look forward to a home derby against Rangers in the league, before preparing themselves for a trip to Chelsea, again in the Champions League.

Speaking ahead of tonight's game, manager Sadiku said: “This experience has taught us that this is just a normal game,” she said. “The occasion is huge but we still need to do what we can do which is playing football the way we play.

"We knew it would be tough but we are going to learn, we are going to grow and we are going to get stronger as a team from playing here.

"Against Real Madrid we were confident enough to play and take the pressure and we showed no fear. It is a huge test but this is something we knew before the tournament started. I don’t think we are going to have a bigger test than this."
