“Everyone writes Celtic off,” reckons Warrington, “Every single one of us gave 110% and were all fighting for each other”

Chloe Warrington is thoroughly enjoying the intensity in SWPL matches was the Women’s professional league plays catch-up after a Government enforced long winter shutdown. Celtic’s winning run came to an end on Wednesday night with a goalless draw at K-Park against Glasgow City, a result that suited the visitors more than Celtic.

Both sides missed spot kicks and Glasgow were reduced to ten women as a cynical foul prevented Celtic getting a late winner which would have been merited. However the point keeps Celtic in the hunt for the second Champions League spot and perhaps the desire game in that endeavour will come when the Hoops face-up to theRangers for the third time this season. They incidentally have also to play league leaders Glasgow while Celtic do not.

“We’re seven games unbeaten and we need to remember that. We need to take confidence from that with all the games now coming thick and fast and it’s’ going to be tough,” the talented Celtic full-back told the Celtic FC Women’s website.

“The turnaround is so quick now, so as soon as a game is done on a Wednesday night, focus is on a Thursday for the Sunday, and vice-versa. We need to be fully focused and everyone is. Everyone in the squad is wanting to play a part and will have their role to play.

“We can never underestimate any team we play, so we need to go out and put on a performance against Hearts. They’ll make it tough like every team does for Celtic, so we’ll need to go out and finish our chances and hopefully take the three points.”

Despite not looking too far back with six left to play, the teenager did reflect on how proud she was of her teammates as they battled against the league leaders, hoping they can take that same fight right into and throughout the run in.

“I think every single one of us gave 110% and were all fighting for each other, all the way from Chloe Logan right up to Sarah Ewens, even onto the bench and the girls who weren’t in the squad. Every single one of us had belief going into that game that we could take something out of it. Everyone writes Celtic off before every game and even during the game but the workrate from everyone was phenomenal and I think we were just unfortunate.

“But a point out the game is better than none and the clean-sheet is a positive too,” Chloe added.

Celtic travel through to Edinburgh tomorrow to face Hearts. Details in where to watch the game below…
