Celtic FC Women began their pre-season campaign yesterday afternoon with a hard-fought win over English side Huddersfield Town at K-Park. Fran Alonso’s exciting young side are preparing for the most exciting season in ever for Celtic in the women’s game, with the Champions League action just a month or so away. The domestic cup competition returns this year and there will be a real optimism that Glasgow City’s dominance of the SWPL title can come to an end with Celtic going one better than last season and talking the top spot. A few more Beautiful Sunday wins over theRangers will be wonderful too!
