Celtic Women’s Team

Only surprise is we held on for 9 mins before conceding. We'll get battered.

 

Another great start.

A * chronic manager with a chronic team

 

That will be out one chance

 

Pain.

 

HT 1-0 down...and not getting any better, Kelsey Daugherty by far the busier of the 2 keepers.

Seriously, fortunate to only be behind 1-0 at this point, ngl.

 

Women's team are too lightweight getting brushed of the ball and some of the passing is terrible been a drop off from last season

 

Created absolutely heehaw down the right. Flashes from LAC on the left, but really it hasn't been much going forward overall.

 

Get the draw at least ffs, stop that mob going top

 

Please!

 

Gallagher nets the equalizer

 

GGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAACCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

 

That was probably be the last best chance...

 

!managed a draw giruy huns

 

That was never an offside at the end btw

 

...And it was... 1-1 FT

At least it's better than a loss, even if leaves Celtic 5th... in what was a 4 horse race less than a month ago.

If it puts paid to the Hoops chances of retaining, so be it... it keeps City and Hibs ahead in the race.

As for the Ghirls, it was fun being champions, but seriously, not even remotely close to being good enough this season, and most of the responsiblity for that lies with Sadiku. A worse run than Mowbray was for the men at the start of 2010.

Celtic now, 1 win in 7, I think? With the 1 win being against relegated United at the start of Feb, who have just 4 points all season and dead last. Record against Sevco... W1 D5 L3... and since the 1 win in March last season, D4 L3.

 

Still not good enough, another big game we've failed to win but at this point it's just about making sure the sevconettes don't win the league

 

Poor performance manager has to go end of season end of.

 

Unlike the huns we don't celebrate meaningless draws.

Pish result. Pish season. Pish manager

 

Scottish FA President Mike Mulraney has initiated discussions on a shared stadium for Celtic, Rangers and Glasgow City’s women’s teams in a push to accelerate the growth of the game ahead of Scotland co-hosting the 2035 FIFA Women’s World Cup.


While talks are at a tentative stage, Glasgow’s three full-time professional women’s teams have been receptive to the idea of sharing a 4G pitch in a new arena in the city, projected to hold between 3000 to 5000 spectators.

Scotland’s women’s national team could also play games in the stadium as part of the plan to increase attendances and improve the fan experience by creating bespoke hub venues capable of hosting double-bill fixtures.

If the Glasgow proposal gets off the ground, similar hub venues could be rolled out across the country.

Mulraney has made improving facilities his No.1 priority as President, and has already raised £13.5m of a targeted £50m by 2030 via the Pitching In campaign that will create new pitches, upgrade existing ones and improve dressing room facilities.


Currently, Celtic’s women’s team rent Hamilton’s New Douglas Park for home fixtures, while Rangers utilise Broadwood Stadium in Cumbernauld. Glasgow City, current leaders of a thrilling SWPL title race, play at the 2000 capacity Petershill Park


A recent study by the University of Edinburgh’s Academy of Sport showed that a fifth of the clubs in the Scottish Women’s Premier League had doubled their average match day attendances between the 2022/23 and 23/24 seasons.

Identifying the lack of designated, sustainable football facilities as an obstacle to the growth of the women’s game, however, SWPL Managing Director Fiona McIntyre believes a smaller hub stadium would improve matchday atmosphere, project the game in a better light and help to grow the audience.

“In women’s football facilities are probably one of our single biggest challenges to growth.

“We are trying to grow crowds and some of our biggest clubs play games that are not in, say, Glasgow or Edinburgh or Aberdeen because they have had to go to grounds outside the city to meet the criteria to be broadcast or spectator environments.

“They don’t own those grounds so the security of tenure or ability to brand and do anything on a matchday beyond play the game is limited.

“So, for me, facilities are a challenge in women’s football.

“Imagine having a stadium in Glasgow that was a women’s football stadium?

“We are in a position where some of our stadia like Petershillare great when you have 1000 people there. I’m not sure you’ll get many more in without it being a problem.

“So, you try to grow the audience, but 5000 people get lost in a 50,000 stadium like Hampden.

“We moved our Sky Sports Cup final to Motherwell for a good pitch and a small enough stadium to create an atmosphere with 4000 to 5000 people.

“It felt like a proper game because the atmosphere was there and set up for our audience.”

 

Thought Celtic women and B teams were going to play their home games at Barrowfield?
