Celtic 'living the dream' - Sadiku

Celtic head coach Elena Sadiku is "living her dream" as her side qualified for the Champions League group stage for the first time.

The SWPL holders defeated Ukrainian champions Vorskla Poltava 3-0 on aggregate to become the first Scottish side to qualify for the competition's group phase since its inception in 2020-21.

"I told the girls that I am living my dream together with them," Sadiku enthused after the second leg victory.

"I don't think there is a better achievement than that. It sums up what we have been doing so far.

"We are the in the top 16 teams [in Europe]. We done it for the first time ever. I'm already thinking about our game on Sunday and Rangers next Thursday. I'll think about it when the draw happens tomorrow.

"I don't think I can explain the excitement that is in that locker room right now. For me, we need to be confident because we achieved something that nobody in Scotland has been doing before.

"They are living their dream and will play with the top players in Europe and that is what we want to do."
