Well, maybe not this morning... But also those fans may be happy with news that seems to be coming

Stopped the game with Hibs on the counter because a Celtic player was hit with the ball. This is ridiculous.

A corner has just been reversed to a drop ball because Rodgers went down injured off the ball... I am at an absolute loss with these officials.

And then Celtic scored directly from kick off. What in the world...

On the Celtic side:
• McAneny is in full training and available after sitting out the trip to Aberdeen.
• Westin is also in training although it's unclear if she's ready to make consecutive appearances for the first time since September.

Yeah, I've had a long time feeling (since '19) that we are far too hesitant to give domestic based players a proper chance. Especially when they are younger.
At the moment it seems like if an SWPL based player doesn't play well on debut they are almost discarded to the U-23s.

(by the way this isn't even me saying I think Notley has been snubbed, she's just the example I had to hand. You could substitute her with McAneny, Shore, McLeary, Cruft (if she's eligible), Anderson, even someone like Ashley Robertson and I'd feel the same)

Andreatta says and does a lot of the right things re: the SWPL (ie. going to games regularly) but what is the point of performing in our domestic league if it isn't rewarded?
