The 24/25 season of Celtic FC Women kicks off this Saturday, August 10, at Celtic Park against Dundee United Women. This will be the inaugural Flag Day celebration for the team. Obtain your tickets right away to take part in this amazing event!
With the noise made by supporters after Amy Gallacher’s momentous goal cemented in Celtic FC history, the atmosphere created on the closing day of the previous season was really remarkable.
“The support from our fans has been instrumental in our success,” stated Kelly Clark, the captain of the team.
‘We’re really eager to experience that energy once again as we kick-off our new season as defending champions.’
“Dundee United is a tough first test for us with some very good players who’ll be looking to start the season well too, so we will need to be ready.
“It will be a real honour for us to unfurl the flag at Celtic Park for the first time and a real poignant moment as we reflect on our achievements of last year.”
Last Sunday, our men’s team celebrated their 23/24 title win by unfurling the SPFL flag, marking a historic first in Scottish football, as both the men’s and women’s teams were crowned league Champions in the same season.
Callum McGregor, captain of the men’s team, highlighted the significance of this dual triumph. He said: “Winning the league titles for both teams in the same season is a real testament to our club’s dedication to achieving the best in everything we do and both teams will be striving for similar success again this year.”
“We enjoyed a great day last Sunday at Celtic Park, a day of real togetherness and celebration of Celtic Football Club. It is these moments that players and fans live for and I am sure our women’s team on Saturday will savour their own great day.”
Having lifted nine league titles as Celtic captain, Callum knows a thing or two about the challenges faced by Elena Sadiku’s side this season as they look to retain their league title.
He added: “Now it’s time to push on and defend both titles this season. Your fantastic support home and away for both teams will be essential as we aim to bring silverware back to Celtic Park in May.”
This season opener is a fantastic occasion to commemorate the Ghirls’ historic 2023/24 SWPL success. The game kicks off at 1pm, but make sure you’re in your seat early to witness history as the flag is raised for the first time by captain Kelly Clark and footballing legend Rose Reilly!
Be a part of something new at Paradise this Saturday and support our women’s team in what promises to be another exciting season!
