After losing to Glasgow City in the first game back after the extended lay-off, Celtic have bounced back with back-to-wins against Hearts and Spartans before beating title rivals theRangers at Celtic Park in midweek. That superb victory will count for little if three points aren’t secured this afternoon.
The Celtic team is Chloe Logan, Keeva Keenan, the skipper Chloe Craig, the ‘Skelper Mariah Lee, the ghirl with the longest name in Scottish football Jacynta Galabadaarachchi, Lisa Robertson, Sarah Ewens, Kate Nicolson, Caitlin Hayes, Anna Filbey and Chloe Warrington.

There’s plenty of quality on the bench for Celtic FC Women today with Rachel Donaldson, Sarah Teegarden, Kelly Clark, Izzy Atkinson, Tegan Bowie, Rebecca McAllister and Rachael Johnstone, all listed as substituted. Jodie Bartle clearly has picked up an injury in midweek and is not in the squad today.
The game is live on BBC Alba and kicks off at 4.10pm.
COYGIG!
Back in action this evening as we look to top off a strong week so far!
