Celtic Women made it three victories in a row on Sunday afternoon in Edinburgh. The impressive recent run comes after new boss Elena Sadiku lost her first two games at the helm.
The weekend 3-1 win over Hibernian was crucial. Goals from Natasha Flint and Caitlin Hayes ensured the Ghirls came away from Meadowbank with three points.
Indeed, the victory turned out to be hugely pivotal because it ensured Celtic closed the gap on Rangers at the top of the SWPL. The league leaders dropped points against Partick Thistle yesterday.
Ahead of this weekend’s Glasgow derby, the gap between the sides is now just four points. A Celtic win at Ibrox this Sunday would diminish it even more.
The sides met not long ago and despite two Chloe Craig penalties, the Celts lost the game 3-2. This was Sadiku’s first match in charge of the side, and the Swede will be aiming to taste revenge this Sunday and put her side firmly in contention for the title.
