Celtic FC Women have suffered another major set-back with the news that American striker Summer Green has left the club. Earlier this month told you that the two Spanish stars of the current Celtic side had decided to leave Celtic and remain back home in Spain due to the Covid-19 situation in Scotland.
With the SWPL league currently suspended due to the Scottish Government restrictions on all football outside the Scottish Premiership and Championship, the Celtic FC Womenโs team has seen five games postponed and it will be toward the end of next month at the earliest before even training can resume.

Hereโs Summerโs last minute penalty winner against theRangers at their training centre back in November. If you are wondering why a Scottish referee would award a penalty against theRangers donโt worry โ all is normal in Scottish football. Celtic had already scored so the referee decided to bring the play back to award a penalty to Celtic, just in case weโd miss it. Summer had other ideas โ some strike!
Sheโll be a big loss to the Celtic side who have now lost three top overseas stars due to this lockdown. Some reaction on twitter to the newsโฆ
โThanks for everything good luck in the future,โโฆ
โThats a big loss, best attacking player in Scotland,โโฆ
โGutted. Summer Green was a real class act and great example to show the young girls. All the best,โโฆ
โShe is a cracking player,โโฆ
โI blame the SFA, why would you stay when they are not allowed to even train nevertheless play. These are are professional footballers and are not allowed to do their job. The SFA are treating them disgracefully. Celticโs loss. I donโt think she will be the last,โโฆ
โShame, sheโs been replaced by Winter Bluesโฆโโฆ
โWhy??โโฆwell, see above.
