Elena Sadiku says Celtic are ready for “aggressive” Hearts in another big SWPL test on Sunday.
The reigning champions haven’t been in league action since their 2-2 draw with Rangers on 3 October, but endured a tough debut in the Champions League group stage with a 2-0 home defeat by Twente.
Domestically, while Celtic are undefeated this season, they’ve dropped points to Rangers and Hibs.
Hearts, despite losing two games, are a point ahead of Celtic in the SWPL table albeit they’ve played an extra match.
“Hearts have been a great team so far,” Sadiku said before Sunday’s match at Oriam.
“They’ve been playing similar shape to us, they’re very aggressive, good with the ball, so it’s going to be a great challenge for us.
“We’ve been having great challenges so far but it’s about getting back to focusing on what we need to do well to win the game.
“The squad is going to be so important this season because we have so many games.
“We already have a plan of how to exploit Hearts and be aware of the threat. We have a good idea of how to manage that challenge.”
