Fran Alonso made clear his side would not underestimate their opponents in such a crucial game and said the Celtic Women’s team were only focused on getting the three points and securing Champions League football next season.

“We cannot affect the other game,” said Fran Alonso. “We can only affect our game so it’s very important we stay focused and don’t underestimate the opponents. Although I’m delighted with this team and how they’ve taken the league title to the last game, the dream for us is to qualify for the Champions League. That’s our number one focus and we’ll be delighted if we achieve it regardless of what happens in the other game.

“We expect a tough team. They’ve picked up many points recently and are very well organised. When we played them the last time at the k-Park they created many chances and normally we don’t concede many chances, we’ve only conceded three goals in the last 12 games.

'We won’t underestimate them but we are Celtic and, like every game, we’ll be ambitious and will try to win games by scoring as many goals as possible. Our approach is always aggressive, brave and attacking minded.'

"At times, if they are doing well we’ll have to defend deep so we will read the game as it comes but we’re definitely going to be aggressive because we want to get the three points and guarantee the Champions League spot.”

The Celtic Women’s team are on an incredible run of form coming into the final fixture of the season. The 10-0 win against Forfar on Sunday (May 31) made it 11 wins and one draw in their last 12 games.

Fran Alonso said he was incredibly proud of his players and added his final message to them on Sunday would not differ to what he has told them all season.

“My message to the players will be to keep doing what we’ve been doing,” he said. “We are a family and I’m so proud of the heart, passion and quality they show every time they play. I know how hard they work on and off the field and my message will be to keep doing what you’ve been doing, stay humble and work hard.”
