Henrik Larsson has offered support to Celtic Women ahead of their Champions League play-off match.
The Hoops face Ukrainians Vorskla Poltava at Excelsior Stadium this evening, hoping to create history by reaching the group stages for the first time. They lead 1-0 from the away leg and will be considered favourites to advance to the next round.
Swedish manager Elena Sadiku credits her countryman, club legend Larsson, for his support. She stated, “He is supportive and monitors our results and Instagram stories. His contribution to the women’s game has been tremendous, and I am a huge fan of his.”
