Following a historic season in which they were crowned SWPL Champions for the first time, Celtic FC Women return to competitive action this Saturday, August 10, for another milestone occasion.

There’s never been a Flag Day in the SWPL before, but that’s all about to change as Kelly Clark and the Ghirls will unfurl the flag at Celtic Park this weekend to kick off the new season!

Here’s a full rundown of all the important information you need ahead of Celtic FC Women v Dundee United this Saturday.
