Celtic Women are aiming to finally get off the board in the Champions League when they face Chelsea in the return fixture in Group B at Stamford Bridge tonight.Despite some admirable displays in their three group games so far, Elena Sadiku's side are yet to pick up any points having tasted defeat against FC Twente, Real Madrid and Chelsea.
The Hoops had taken a first half lead against the Blues last Wednesday courtesy of a goal from Murphy Agnew only to concede two quickfire goals minutes later to consign them to a third straight loss in their debut season in the group phase of Europe's premiere competition.Sadiku also has to pick her team up from their dramatic 3-2 Old Firm defeat to Rangers on Sunday that saw them fall four points behind their city rivals in the SWPL standings.
The Celtic boss was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for sarcastically applauding a refereeing decision but knows that her side will desperately need her on the touchline tonight if they are to take points off a Chelsea team that reached the final of the Champions League in 2021.
