It’s match-day four and Celtic go in search of their first point after losing 2-0 to Dutch Champions FC Twente, 4-0 away to Real Madrid and 2-1 last midweek at Celtic Park to Chelsea.

Kelsey Daugherty has the gloves as usual and Celtic look like playing with a back four this evening with Jenny Smith, Kelly Clark, Caitlin Hayes and Celya Barclais. in the middle of the park there’s Emma Lawton and Lucy Ashworth Clifford in wide positions with Colette Cavanagh starting alongside Sharron McGregor and Amy Gallacher. Murphy Agnew scored last week and will be looking for another leading the Celtic line.

So 4-5-1 from Celtic to keep it tight and hopefully hit Chelsea on the break.
On the bench are Logan, Rodgers, the Carsten twins, Kerner (welcome back Hana!) Cross, Noonan, Bruna, Luana and McAneny.
Natalie Ross is missing for Celtic after picking up an injury late in the game at the weekend.
