Grant Scott: We didn't show enough of our qualities against Hearts

Celtic FC Women lost out narrowly to Hearts at the weekend, going down 2-1 against the league leaders.

It was a game which had some positives and negatives for manager, Grant Scott, though, ultimately, he was disappointed to have lost the game.

Speaking to Celtic TV after the game, he said: “Overall, I’m not massively displeased apart from the result, but I don’t think it’s been our best performance.

“I was a wee bit disappointed with the urgency we showed. At times, in flashes, we saw the attacking team I want us to be, but I don’t think our quality shone through and we didn’t create enough chances to put them under enough stress.

“It’s always disappointing in a defeat but we’ll take what we can from it, take our learnings and try to keep moving on.

“There wasn’t a lot in the match. In individual battles all over the pitch, some won, some lost, but ultimately, our quality with the ball didn’t really show through.

"It was there at times, but we didn’t really threaten their goal enough.”

Next up for Celtic is a Glasgow derby on Sunday (May 17) when they take on Rangers at Broadwood Stadium (KO: 4pm).

The game is a dress rehearsal for the Scottish Cup final between the sides at the end of the month, and the Celtic manager is looking for a positive performance and, of course, a positive result.

“It’s the oldest thing in football but you need to dust yourself down from these tough moments,” he said.

“It’s a good game to bounce back in, a good game to play in.

"They’re always tough battles but, again, I’ll ask the players for performance and quality over anything else next week and we’ll go into the game and try to win it.”
