The young defender’s arrival is part of an effort by Sadiku to imprint her vision on the team, following a successful debut season that saw her lead Celtic to a historic league victory.

Looking ahead, Sadiku’s ambitions for the team are clear as she aims not only to defend the SWPL title but also to comPete strongly in the Scottish Cup and League Cup, further establishing Celtic Women as a formidable force in Scottish women’s Football. To do this, she’ll need to get her own players into the side.
