And ahead of the highly anticipated clash, CeltsAreHere tells you all you need to know.

Celtic Women will face off against Valerenga this Saturday the 9th of September at 7 pm UK time. The match will take place at the Intility Arena in Oslo, the same venue where the Ghirls defeated Brondby.
How To Watch
Supporters can watch Saturday’s match on Celtic TV. It is being streamed worldwide for subscribers, whilst fans can also head to Celtic Park’s Sports Bar and view the game.
What Is At Stake?
This is a one-off tie, and if Fran Alonso’s side manages to taste victory in it, they will make it into Round 2 of Champions League qualifying. There, they would face a two-legged tie to for a place in the Champions League group stages.
Valerenga are the hosts on Saturday and will be no mugs, though. Nevertheless, the Ghirls will be dreaming of making it back-to-back victories after defeating Brondby midweek.
Kelly Clark was the hero on that occasion, and she spoke to CeltsAreHere about how it felt to net an iconic goal for the Celts:
