Hibernian Ladies take on Celtic Ladies under the floodlights at Easter Road Stadium on Wednesday 4 October.

The players will be going into the game on the back of a 4-0 victory over Hamilton Academical at the weekend, with Katey Turner (2), Shannon Leishman and Amy Gallacher on the scoresheet at Ainslie Park.

Speaking to Hibernian Ladies’ Twitter account, Head Coach Chris Roberts said: “It’s a great occasion playing at Easter Road, but we need to make sure that we don’t get caught up in that occasion.

“Thankfully, we’ve played there quite a few times before so that will help.

“It’s a league game that we need to win. Celtic are tough opponents and we have had some quality battles with them over the last couple of years.

“Dave is an excellent coach and their teams are always well-managed and are very competitive, so we’ll be ready for that.

“Everyone is looking forward to that game, it will be exciting to play at Easter Road, but ultimately we will be focusing on picking up another three points.”

Entry to the stadium for the match is via pay-at-the-gate, with tickets priced at £5 for adults and £2 for under-16s.
