Team News: Celtic (A)

Grant Scott has made four changes to his Hibernian starting line-up for this evening’s SWPL fixture versus Celtic at Excelsior Stadium.

Katie Fraine returns in goal for Hibs after starting from the bench on Friday evening. Loanee ‘keeper Comfort Erhabor is listed as a substitute following her debut appearance versus Hearts.

Shannon Leishman and Mya Christie both return to the starting XI, whilst defender Siobhan Hunter and winger Tegan Bowie both drop to the bench. 

The fourth and final Hibs switch sees a change in the forward line. Club top scorer Jorian Baucom, who is chasing her 25th goal of the season, replaces Lia Tweedie in attack. 

Michaela McAlonie makes the bench this evening. The midfielder has missed the last four games through injury – after previously not missing 22 consecutive games on the bounce.

Astrud Nevin is also listed amongst the substitutes. The Hibs youth academy prospect played in pre-season, and made the bench earlier on this season for the first team, but has yet to make her senior professional debut for the club.
