The Edinburgh side will travel to the Excelsior Stadium fresh off the back of a 1-1 draw against their rivals at Easter Road last weekend.

Although the Celts have picked up maximum points against Hibernian this season, Kerner is well aware of the task that lies ahead, with every game being as important as the next.

“We are all looking forward to Sunday’s game,” she said. “We all know how much every single game matters at this point in the season.

'Every three points is just as important as the next, and we have to take care of business. It’s going to take everything that we have and every player that we have.'

“We all know we have to rise to the occasion, just like we have in the past few games, and we're excited to try and do that.”

Before Kerner’s arrival at the club, Hibernian’s last visit to Airdrie ended in an incredible 9-0 win for the Celts on the opening day of the campaign.

The Edinburgh side, currently fifth in the SWPL table, have come on leaps and bounds since that day, and there is an aspect of unpredictability about Dean Gibson’s side.

Despite that, Kerner is confident that the Hoops can come away with all three points so long as they focus on themselves and imposing their game.

She said: “It can be a challenge to face an unpredictable team, but at the same time we have to focus on ourselves and focus on what we can do.

“We have to trust that if we take care of that, show up and do the best we can then hopefully we will get the result. I think we can go into the game knowing that we can do that and we are preparing to do that.

'We are confident that we are going to prepare as best as we can. I don’t think we are taking anything or any team lightly.'

“We know how talented and strong all the other teams in the league are that we are going to come up against.

“If we don’t show up and do what we can do, then we won’t get the result. So we have to keep showing up.”
