Fran Alonso hailed his side's 7-0 win over Dundee United on Sunday, highlighting the outstanding individual and group performances in Celtic's win.

Speaking to Celtic TV after the game, the Celtic FC Women's manager said: "I can’t ask much more of them, they were outstanding. The players who started and came from the bench had a huge impact

"We had another clean-sheet, three points and, most importantly, a good crowd and everyone who came to watch the team left the stadium proud.

'We’ve got one more game before Christmas, so hopefully we can do something similar and put in good performance in that one.'

With Shen Mengyu getting her first hat-trick, and Tiree Burchill and Maria McAneny their first senior goals, Alonso reiterated that patience is key for players as he was delighted to see them reap the rewards of their hard work.

“It’s very important because they are young players. They wouldn’t have as many minutes as they would if they were in a team that isn’t fighting for the title, but they are patient, they work hard and waiting to make the most of their minutes.

“They came on because they deserved it because they’ve worked hard in training, so when they scored, I was delighted. I’m also very happy for Shen. She was in a new position and I thought she was the Player of the Match.

"She was outstanding, apart from her three goals, her rotation and her goal involvement, and that gives us a lot of options in the future. As coaches we are delighted with that and every player on the pitch performed at their best.”

And now the Hoops boss hopes his side will see most of the sizeable crowd return for that next home game against Motherwell following their terrific performance.

He said: “We want people to come back. If people haven’t experienced the women’s game before, our job is to make sure they come back, and we need to play attractive, attacking football for that and we did that against Dundee United. It was exciting for everyone who came.”
