Celtic Ladies Smash The Ibrox Club And Get The Weekend Off To The Right Start.

You have to hand it to those Celtic Ladies, about whom I don’t write as much as I should. Their team is absolutely bossing it right now, and tonight sits proudly at the top of the SPWL after crushing the Ibrox club 3-0. It is a storming result.

And as one of the goalscorer’s just said on TV, it gets the weekend off to the best possible beginning. Any win over the Ibrox club is good news, but this weekend it’s especially big and whilst I don’t expect there to be any knock-on psychological effects it is still a huge result and one that will fire a warning shot to everyone over there.

To be fair to their women’s team, they haven’t indulged in the kind of mouthing off that the men’s team has been guilty of, but after going on a very long unbeaten run this must be a shock to them of seismic proportions.

For Celtic’s ladies it’s an outstanding win and one that puts them at the summit of the women’s league … a trophy we’ve never won and so it would be an historic achievement if they could manage it, and one that would leave this whole Family very proud.

The women have shown the men how it’s done here tonight. Focus, determination and quality have come to the fore and they’ve given Ibrox a sore face. That’s the standard the men now have to meet when they do battle with the enemy on Sunday.

I’m sure they needed neither the motivation nor the inspiration; nevertheless, they should look to what the women have done here and draw both from that performance and that wonderful result.

The weekend is off and running with a big victory.
