After two late goals from our Irish Ghirls saw Celtic FC Women victorious against Djurgarden, the Ghirls are back in action this afternoon as they take on top Swedish side Hammarby at the Tyresövallen Stadium…
This is the battle of Champions as Hammarby won their league last season, as indeed did Celtic. It acts as the second and final match of Celtic’s pre-season tour in Sweden before they kick off their defence of the SWPL title on Saturday afternoon at Celtic Park.
Tickets are available to purchase for that Saturday game at Paradise, so if you can, get down and cheer on the Scottish champions against Dundee United.
Elena Sadiku spoke to Celtic TV after the match and touched on this clash against her former side. She said: “It will be a different test but a big challenge for us.”

Some of our new signings took to the pitch against Djurgarden, with Signe Carstens, Shannon McGregor and Bruna Lourenço all being named in the starting 11. Saoirse Noonan, of course, made her first impact in the Hoops as well as she came on in the second half and eventually scored the winning goal in the dying embers.
