Celtic and Rangers were recently drawn against each other in the Scottish Cup, with the match scheduled to take place on the 27th or 28th of April.
Under the guidance of new boss Elena Sadiku, Celtic FC Women have enjoyed a resurgence in form. Despite initial challenges against Rangers and Glasgow City, Sadiku has led the team on an impressive six-game unbeaten run. As they prepare to face Rangers, the team is undoubtedly buoyed by their recent performances and will be aiming to extend their unbeaten streak to seven matches.
The stakes are high as the league campaign enters its final stretch, with ten matches remaining and nine after this weekend. Celtic’s aspirations of clinching the league title hinge on their ability to overcome formidable opponents, including Glasgow City, who have consistently been among the top contenders in Scottish women’s football.
Caitlin Hayes, who’s become a regular in the Ireland set up, believes the momentum is with the side under their new boss.
She told Celtic TV: “As a team collectively, we now probably understand Elena and what she expects and what she is driving each day in training.
“With that, the performances have obviously only got better and the momentum is definitely with us.”
She continued: “You always want to play in the big games, and it probably doesn’t get bigger than this. So we are just excited for the opportunity.
“I’ve been here a while now. Every time playing this fixture, it’s something we take in our stride and enjoy. Hopefully we can come back with the three points.”
