“Paradise is yours too, it’s the only team for me and you,” Caitlin Hayes

We have just been discussing the impact that The Green Wall in The Celtic End made last night and a few moments after publishing our article on that, Celtic’s star-player of the season, and surely the Player of the Year in Women’s Scottish Football, Caitlin Hayes popped up on social media (her timing as always is immaculate, just like her headers).

Caitlin has been trying to put into words the wider context for the women’s game that now seems within touching distance after the events at Celtic Park last night where a record breaking crowd in the women’s game in Scotland practically sucked that football into the Glasgow City net three times!

Caitlin, who comes from a fanatical Celtic supporting family in the North of England, puts it all into a wider perspective.

“I grew up in the generation where a dream was limited by gender, where there was no representation on the greatest of stages and fans only expanded as far as friends and family….

“To now; where gender holds no boundaries, stages are shared and fans see a badge, that they will to do well.

“Times are changing and with that I say; dream that dream that’s now yours to dream ghirls… Paradise is yours too, it’s the only team for me and you,” Caitlin Hayes.

2/2. To now; where gender holds no boundaries, stages are shared and fans see a badge, that they will to do well. Times are changing and with that I say; dream that dream that’s now yours to dream ghirls… Paradise is yours too, it’s the only team for me and you. 🍀🤍 pic.twitter.com/JWHHMbiF1Q

Last night was special for Caitlin Hayes and all of those Celtic players who have worn the Celtic badge with pride, delivered honours for our club and are on the verge of their greatest ever achievement, but secretly you would suspect would feel somewhat undervalued. Until last night Hibs had achieved crowd attendances almost double the best Celtic fans have ever managed – and ours was in a Scottish Cup Final last May, when I can remember just one or two chants of ‘Watching Glasgow Celtic putting on a show”.

Last night broke the record and perhaps smashed a few glass ceilings too. And every single supporter in that crowd of 9553 can be proud of what has been achieved. And with that Green wall behind them, now anything is possible. The sky is the limit.

See you on Sunday at Meadowbank Caitlin for the penultimate league match of this exciting season against Hibs.
