Lucy Ashworth-Clifford has another go, this one from just outside the Motherwell box but once again it's well wide.

While things are slightly calm (might eat my words here) let's get you the team news for the 20:00 kick-offs.

Under way up at Balmoral as well now!

Laura McCartney tries a shot from distance and she's not far away.

Kelsey Daugherty almost smacks her face off the post as she goes to cover her goal there.

It's not the start Paul Brownlie's side would have wanted but they've responded well.

Almost a chance to make it two!

It's a class cross from Jenny Smith to find Lucy Ashworth-Clifford in the Motherwell box.

She tries to take it first time but sends her effort well wide.

Motherwell's Morgan Cross gets us going.

Celtic boss Elena Sadiku tells BBC Alba: "I want to see a more confident and brave team, a more attacking team.

"It's [squad rotation] a sign that I believe in my players, we have a strong squad and you can see that I mean it when I say it.

"The threat is going to be our mistakes. We are prepared for every scenario, the most focus we have is how we perform today. Hopefully I'll see a brave confident team who loves to attack."

Motherwell manager Paul Brownlie tells BBC Alba: "We're in a good place, another good win. There's a bit of momentum. We're under no illusions of the task of tonight's game.

"Every year we've tried to get better and this year the process continues. I'm delighted with the progress we've made.

"These are big nights, we want to be tested against the best."

Let's get the thoughts of the managers before we get going at Airdrie.
