Breaking News: Henrik Larsson demonstrates his steadfast loyalty to Celtic while Elena Sadiku suggests a secret role in the Champions League challenge.

Henrik Larsson will be one among the people watching Celtic’s play-off Champions League match this evening.

Elena Sadiku’s team wants to create history by becoming the first to advance to the group stage. The Swede also disclosed that when the Ghirls advanced through the qualifying round, her compatriot, the legendary Larsson of the Hoops, had been closely observing. “He is supportive and follows our results – and our Instagram stories,” Sadiku stated. His support has been excellent to the women’s game and I am a big fan of his.”

In addition, Sadiku made a suggestion that the team had received a word of encouragement prior to what was possibly the biggest game in their history. “Perhaps I have,” she responded when asked if Larsson had given her any encouraging words. But when it came to what it would mean to her to play Champions League football against the Ukrainians, Sadiku was less evasive. After the first leg on Sunday, her team has a 1-0 lead; considering the opportunities made, this lead could and could have been more substantial.

She said: “It would mean we are among the top 16 teams in Europe. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. It would mean so much to get there. It would be the top moment in my career.”
