The playoff round, with both legs hosted at Airdrie’s Excelsior Stadium due to the ongoing coNFLict in Ukraine, saw Celtic dominate. Goals from EMMA Lawton and Murphy Agnew in the second leg ensured a coMMAnding win for Elena Sadiku’s team.

Celtic will be part of the group stage draw, potentially facing top European clubs such as Barcelona, Lyon, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea. The draw is set for Friday, September 27, marking a significant step forward in Celtic’s journey on the European stage.

It’s great from the Ghirls to create this History. Elena has completely changed the mindset of the side since she walked through the doors. The Women used to go into matches like this being the underdogs, and thinking that way, but the manager has changed that, and has openly said that no matter the Celtic side, they should never go into a match thinking like that.

Well done to the players, the staff, and everyone else involved. It’s a great achievement!
