“Into the semis with this amazing group of people,” the Celtic FC Women manager tweeted after today’s Halloween humbling of the Rangers at Murray Park in the quarter final of the SWPL Cup. Celtic as a result of the Charlie Welling strike just before the hour mark go through to join Spartans, Hibs and Glasgow City in the semi-final draw.
“I’m very lucky to be supported every week by this staff and players, great pros and even better people,” Fran continued. “Four wins from four “Glasgow Derby” games is something incredible, very very proud! Love you TEAM Mon the HOOPS HH” he added.
At the pre-match press conference The Editor of The Celtic Star asked Fran what his record was against theRangers. He was a wee bit surprised but answered that he’d played then three times and won all three. Now it’s four from four. Well done Fran! (Only The Celtic Star and Cynic Women attended this week’s media conference with Fran. Funny that they’re all writing about the result this evening. Remember when we used to sign ‘You’re only part time supporters?”
