Celtic FC Women’s Maria McAneny has expressed confidence in the Ghirls’ ability to clinch the Scottish Women’s Premier League title this season.
Under the guidance of their new manager, Elena Sadiku, Celtic have secured crucial victories against rivals Rangers and Glasgow City, propelling them within striking distance of the league leaders.
Currently just one point behind Rangers, Celtic will be closely watching the upcoming clash between Rangers and third-placed Glasgow City. A favourable outcome for Glasgow City could catapult Celtic to the top of the table, provided they secure a win against Partick Thistle.
Reflecting on the team’s recent performances and their title aspirations, McAneny highlighted the critical nature of each remaining match. She remarked,
“If we didn’t beat Glasgow City that was it, it was done,” she said to Celtic TV.
“Every game we know we need to win if we want to win the league.
“We have got the chance now to go and win this league, we’re in a better position than we were last season. If we put in a good performance [against Hearts], we will feed off that and we will take confidence going into the run of games.
“We all want to win the league, we want to win the cup and everybody just takes that buzz from each other.”
The title went down to the very last game of the season last term, with Celtic top until the dying minutes of the match across the city.
The new gaffer has got her side playing well and getting results, with a cup and a league title on the line it’s all to play for.
