Team’s Up – Celtic boss makes nine changes for Montrose match

Elena Sadiku has name NINE changes to her Celtic FC Women side from the side that defeated Ukrainian champions FK Vorskla Poltava on Thursday evening…

Noonan opens the scoring for Celtic

The Ghirls are in Sky Sports Cup action (that’s the League Cup folks) up at Links Park in Montrose and the 1pm kick-off is fast approaching.

Only captain Kelly Clark, playing in her home area, and fellow defender Bruno remain in the side for today’s cup-tie.

The Celtic FC Women team is Rodgers, Richardson, Clark (c), Bruna, Barclais, McAneny, S Carstes, M Carsten, Noonan, Loferski and Cross.

Kit Loferski starts at Links park, Montrose

Subs for Celtic this after are Daugherty, Ross, Gallacher, Cavanagh, McGregor, Hayes, Ashworth-Clifford, Lawton and Luana with many of these being kept for the Thursday night showdown with theRangers at Broadwood.

Today’s team should be strong enough to get the job done and with Loferski and Noonan (who got a hat-trick here at Links Park just the other week) we have plenty of goal threat.

That SWPL1 match ended in a 4-2 win but Celtic will be on a high and nine players will be fresh and fully fit so expect another strong performance and a sizeable Celtic victory.

Score prediction – Montrose 0 Celtic 5…

COYGIG!
