Before that League Cup kick-off at Celtic Park, the women’s side take on Ukrainian champions Vorskla Poltava in the first leg of their knockout tie and Premier Sports have bought the rights to broadcast.

 

The fixture kicks off at 12pm and will be live directly before the men’s game on Premier Sports 1.Vorskla don’t have massive amounts of European experience, like Celtic, and the draw could have been far worse for the Ghirls. Benfica, Roma and Slavia Prague were among the potential opponents.

Speaking ahead of the match, captain Kelly Clark said: “I always speak about my time at the club and watching the guys do things and how much it makes you want to do it.I’ve watched them play in the Champions League, and I’ve listened to that roar when the Champions League anthem comes on. You crave doing it yourself.

 

“I know every fan craves doing it but the reality is I’m actually in a position that I can do it. It means everything. It’s a competition that is a genuine reminder that you are the Champions of your league.
