Elena Sadiku responds to Celtic and Rangers Women's Super League talks

Celtic Women head coach Elena Sadiku has responded to speculation about her side potentially moving to the Women's Super League.

Earlier this week, it was reported that both Celtic and city rivals Rangers had held informal talks over a switch for their women's sides to England's top flight.

They would need to give at least two seasons' notice if any move did come to fruition, although talks remain in the very early stages.

The sides lock horns at New Douglas Park this weekend in the semi-finals of the SWPL Cup.

Ahead of the match, Celtic boss Sadiku spoke to the press on Friday when she was asked about her side potentially swapping Scotland for England: "I think it's a tricky question," she said (Sky Sports).

"We can say competing against Arsenal, Chelsea... it's a different level.

"I think we're doing just fine in Scotland right now. We're competing, and we're trying to make sure that we are dominating here. That's what we need to focus on right now."

Rangers manager Jo Potter was also recently quizzed on the switch, saying her focus at the minute is very much on Sunday's Old Firm derby and that the setup at her club is 'perfect' for what they are trying to achieve.

Down south, Chelsea Women boss Sonia Bompastor reckons the inclusion of Celtic and Rangers to the WSL would have several negative implications for the game in Scotland.
