Celtic FC Women continued their winning start to the SWPL season, securing an important three points against Glasgow City on Sunday afternoon.

Heading into the second match of the campaign, the Ghirls faced their first derby of the season, welcoming their city rivals to the Albert Bartlett Stadium.

And it was Elena Sadiku’s side who would come out on top following a competitive 90 minutes in Airdrie.

Chloe Craig’s second-half penalty was enough to seal all three points as the defender slotted the ball home with ease from 12 yards out.

Speaking to Celtic TV after the match, Sadiku admitted she was pleased that her side was able to come away with the win.

Although there were aspects of the performance the Swedish coach believes her squad could improve on, ultimately, the most important thing was securing three points and a clean sheet.

She said: “It was a big three points. We secured another win, with a clean sheet – that is something that I feel is the most important.

“But obviously it wasn’t our best performance. That is something that is making me feel not as happy as I would like to be.

'Obviously I think the way I’m feeling is because I have such high demands and standards for us as a team.'

“You know we are Celtic, and we play games to win. That is what we did today, so I really like how the girls kept the game in our favour by fighting and making sure that we don’t concede a goal.

“So, all credit to them after showing what they showed today, especially in the second half.”
