Unique Angle – Marvel at Celtic’s Magnificent Seven against Hamilton

By No Comments

Watch and enjoy the seven Celtic goals scored by Fran Alonso’s free-scoring Celtic FC Women side in the midweek win at Hamilton where Celtic smashed through the 100 goals mark for the season and taken together with last Friday’s 3-0 skelping of theRangers in the Glasgow Derby, sets the Ghirls up for Sunday’s huge match in Airdrie against current SWPL1 leaders Glasgow City.

City won 7-0 at Aberdeen last Sunday and beat Motherwell 3-0 at home on Wednesday night so Celtic matched their results in these two games but crucially one of our opponents was the current SWPL1 Champions, theRangers.

City are three points ahead of Celtic basically due to their fortuitous 2-1 win over Fran Alonso’s side earlier in the season. Celtic were denied a stonewall penalty in the first half when Amy Gallacher was brought down inside the area and the first 45 minutes ended goalless.  City were then awarded a penalty themselves which gave them the lead but Shen Menglu levelled the scoring after a period of intense Celtic pressure and this continued after the goal as Celtic chased down a winner.

City were holding on but deep into stoppage time they won a thrown in deep inside Celtic territory and rather fortuitously ended up grabbing a winner that was hardly deserved. That result is what Celtic will be looking to put right on

Glasgow City are currently three points ahead of Celtic basically due to their fortuitous 2-1 win over Fran Alonso’s side earlier in the season. Celtic were denied a stonewall penalty in the first half when Amy Gallacher was brought down inside the area and the first 45 minutes ended goalless.  City were then awarded a penalty themselves which gave them the lead but Shen Menglu levelled the scoring after a period of intense Celtic pressure and this continued after the goal as Celtic chased down a winner.

City were holding on but deep into stoppage time they won a thrown in deep inside Celtic territory and rather fortuitously ended up grabbing a winner that was hardly deserved. That result is what Celtic will be looking to put right on Sunday and with the form Celtic are in and with the backing of an  expected large crowd to roar the Hoops on the Ghirls can complete their perfect week and go clear at the top of the league on goal difference.

The game kicks off at 4.10pm on Sunday at the Excelsior Stadium in Airdrie so you can watch the midday kickoff from Paisley in the Scottish premiership match between St Mirren and Celtic before heading over to Airdrie. Ticket details below.

If you can’t make it along to Airdrie the game is live on BBC ALBA.

The Celtic Star champions The Celtic FC Women side and we will be speaking to Fran Alonso and a player this afternoon and will report back on this later today.
