Here we go! Strap yourself in for the nerves and tension that come with a huge game. Celtic Women FC are about to play the second leg of their round two UEFA Champions League qualification tie. 

They will play Ukrainian side Vorskla Poltava for a place in the highly lucrative group phase of the elite competition. It would be the first time they have reached that level if successful in this second-leg match. This means there is a huge amount to play for and a lot of money and prestige that comes with the success. 

Celtic are in a good position so far with a one goal lead from the first match last weekend. They should probably have scored more goals, but the Ukrainian side spurned some good chances too. That means it’s all very much open and to play for on the night.
