CAPTAIN’S COMMENTS
This is almost deja vu — we started poorly against
Glasgow City and then subsequently built up
momentum in September.
We’ve done the exact same thing again and as
much as the Glasgow City result was disappointing,
the Rangers result at Celtic Park is huge. People
wrote us off and we can thank them for that extra
bit of motivation going into the game — not that
we really needed any.
The occasion was amazing, the squad and staff
absolutely class and we need to again take this
into Sunday’s game against Hibs. It’s another really
important and big game for us as we want to keep
the pressure on City and Rangers who are yet
to play each other in this round of games.
Hibs seem to have bounced back from their
disappointing start and have been unfortunate
not to pick up any points in their last two games.
They are a good side with very good players so
we need to recover from Wednesday and take
the same level of energy into Sunday’s fixture.
Thanks,
Kelly
CRAIG: THERE’S NO EASY
GAMES IN THIS LEAGUE
Chloe Craig shared her belief that there’s no easy games “Every team has improved. Every club has increased
in this league, as the Hoops’ hectic schedule gets their input into their women’s team, so we know every
well underway. single week that it won’t be easy and each team has good
players, so we know we’ll be in for a fight every week.
The Celtic vice-captain praised clubs across the board for
their renewed commitment to women’s football, as she “That’s what we want though — we don’t want
gears up for the intense run ahead. easy games.”
MCALLISTER ENJOYING
SENIOR CHALLENGE
After making an immediate impact from the bench
at Spartans, 18-year-old Rebecca McAllister is trusting
the process, as she looks to keep fighting for every
chance she can get.
“It’s really competitive even just for places in the team,
so you know when you get the chance it’s because you
deserve it. It’s a really good standard and it makes you
better as a player.
“It can be mentally tough sometimes, when you maybe
think you’re not getting anywhere, when you’re not getting
picked, but you have to be patient. It’s a big jump and
we’ve got a big squad of very good players, so you won’t
be there every week, but you just need to keep pushing
in training.”
