It’s a big night for Celtic in the UWCL as they host high-flying Chelsea.
The Ghirls are being cheered on by a full section of Ultras behind the goal with flags and megaphones.
Looking to the dugout, there are two women managers in charge of the sides with Sonia Bompastor the tactician leading Chelsea and Elena Sadiku overseeing the home side.
The pair shared a moment between them before the match kicked off, both of them trailblazers in their own way.
Bompastor is the first women to win the Champions League as both a player and manager with Lyon, and Sadiku the youngest ever women to lead a side to the group stage of the competition.

The Swedish boss turned to management after having to call time on her playing career at the age of 24 due to injury.
She became the first woman to take charge of Celtic in January, at just 30 years old.
Chelsea were of course the favourites, but Celtic did put their fans in dreamland when they took an early lead through Murphy Agnew.
That lead was soon pegged back when Maika Hamano struck for the Blues, and Ashley Lawrence put the visitors in front.
