This evening’s match offers another huge spectacle for the Hoops, with just 90 minutes separating Celtic and the group stages.

Although it is going to be a big night in Airdrie, Sadiku insists her squad are fully focused and ready for the challenge ahead.

“We are just focused on the game,” she said. “Even if there is a special game, for us it’s treated the same as every other game.

“It’s about preparing the girls the same way. We need to go out there, perform well execute the game plan, and that is it.

“You can hear when Natalie (Ross) is talking, in her voice how excited she is. But for me, it’s about being calm enough to know that we know exactly how to threaten them. We know exactly what to be aware of.

'We also know that the occasion will be very special. But it will be treated as a normal game. It is 90 minutes of football, and that is what we are going to focus on.'

“As a group we’ve talked about it. We know the occasion and how special it is. But it’s all about being focused on the game and the task, don’t let emotions take over.

“I think that is something that we have been trying to do really well. You could see that on Sunday in the first leg.

“With the chances that we create in the game, we couldn’t have done that if we were stressed or nervous.

“So, we have talked about it and now it’s about focusing on the task, and what we need to do.

“I’m very confident that we will put in a good performance.”
