Image source, Getty ImagesGlasgow City head coach Leanne Ross hopes her players can replicate her own "great experiences on European nights" as they prepare to host Irish champions Athlone Town in the first leg on their Europa Cup qualifier.
City dropped into the newly-established competition after finishing third in their Champions League qualifying group following a 2-0 defeat to FK Austria Wien.
Athlone lost to Breidablik in their Champions League semi-final then beat Serbian champions Crvena Znezda 2-0 in the play-off to ensure their European journey also continued.
"I'm expecting a really competitive game so we want to make sure we're fighting on all fronts," Ross told BBC Scotland of Wednesday's match.
"They've got a decent squad of players, good technical ability and they've definitely got players within the starting XI who can hurt us if we're not fully focused on defending the way we need to defend."
The 44-year-old former midfielder was part of the City squad who reached the quarter finals of the Champions League in 2014-15 and 2019-20, which she described as a "massive achievement".
"European competition, for me personally, has always brought a lot of great experiences throughout my career," she said.
"The players who have experienced that already want to keep the journey going and the younger ones want to see what it feels like to progress in Europe and have those nice nights at home where we get the big crowds and the games are exciting."
Her side come into the match after a 5-0 win against Montrose in the SWPL, making it three wins and three clean sheet in as many matches.
"The football we played on Sunday and the performance we put on, both individuals within the team and collectively, it gives us huge confidence in terms of our style of play and what we can do to teams on the pitch," she said.
"I really enjoyed watching the team playing. There wasn't a lot of coaching to do. They implemented the game plan really well and hopefully we can set another good game plan and take that forward.
"It's a new competition. We're now going into a knockout scenario and it's a different challenge for the players as well and for us as staff.
"It's great that we have the opportunity to experience that this season."

Rachael Johnstone (Hearts): Made a couple of important saves in each half, two in particular were really impressive. Her performance helped Hearts to all three points and a big win over their city rivals.
Lisa Evans (Glasgow City): Two assists and a clean sheet, so a good afternoon's work for the defender. Came close to getting on the scoresheet too. Both her assists came from corners, her deliveries bang on the money.
Lana Golob (Glasgow City): The Slovenian is proving to be a great signing for City. Not only did she grab her first competitive goal in a City shirt this weekend, she looked very comfortable carrying out her defensive duties.
Erin Husband (Hearts): Full of determination as she made some crucial blocks to stop the opposition in their tracks. Still just 17, the defender plays with great maturity, yet with a freedom of youth.
Katie Rice (Motherwell): Made a vital goalline clearance to stop Hamilton going 2-0 up, then scored at the other end to put her side 2-1 ahead early in the second half. Her goal set the tone for the remainder of the game as Motherwell cruised to their first win of the season.
Olufolasade Adamolekun (Hearts): Was a real driving force in the middle of the park. So good on the ball and very effective. She was involved in much of Hearts' slick play, seeing and executing a pass with precision.
Kim Shin Ji (Rangers): In her first start, the South Korean very much looked the part. Her poise on the ball caught the eye. Demonstrated excellent technical ability and will be an influential player in this Rangers team.
Sofia Maatta (Glasgow City): A constant threat all afternoon. Set up City's opener and could have grabbed a goal herself such was her attacking intent.
Georgia Timms (Hearts): Won the penalty for her side as she raced into the box and was taken out by the Hibs goalie. Then kept her cool by converting from the spot. Her goal undoubtedly had a positive effect on Hearts for the last 20 minutes of the game.
Bayley Hutchison (Hearts): Came on just before the hour and her influence was clear to see. Her skill, physicality and determination is such a huge positive for Hearts. The build-up play to the eventual penalty was all about her persistence to keep the ball.
Mia McAulay (Rangers): A sublime finish to give her side the opening goal in the season's first Old Firm derby. Great delivery from the corner to set up Rangers' second, sealing the win that moved Leanne Crichton's side top of the SWPL.
Image source, SNSCeltic manager Elena Sadiku: "We started the game really well but in the second half we weren't up to our standards. But this won't define us. It is something we need to look at and make sure it won't happen again.
"We didn't play our game in the second half and I think that's why it looked the way it did. I'm going to look at the game, make sure everybody is better prepared next time but I think the disappointment comes from us not playing our game."
Rangers head coach Leanne Crichton: "I'm really pleased in terms of the result, I'm more pleased about the performance.
"There's been a lot of chat this week about the club, players that have left and a lot of people have hit the panic button, but in the building we've been really composed about things.
"Regardless of the score we were prepared to go and take the positives from the game and I'm just really pleased with how the players went about it."
Image source, Malcolm Mackenzie/SWPLHearts manager Eva Olid: "I was confident playing against Hibs my only thing is that it's always been difficult for us at Tynecastle.
"This was our first win here, so that's important for me. The three points are important but as a manager in my fifth season to win here for the first time is important.
"The players were calm, not nervous and that helped to win the match. Now we have to prove the consistency that we didn't have last season."
Hibs boss: Grant Scott: "It's a tough one to take. We didn't perform to our best or the levels I think we are capable of.
"Hearts were by far the better team in possession and we probably didn't get as close to them as we would have liked.
"I thought we took a bit of time to get started, had a decent spell at the end of the first half but we've had a full week to prepare so there's no excuses for us.
"We will have to dust ourselves off really quickly from this one."

Image source, SNSRangers head coach Leanne Crichton says Sunday's Old Firm derby against Celtic is "just another three points" despite the magnitude of the match.
Crichton has played in the fixture during her time at Celtic, and the 38-year-old knows that a win would carry "bragging rights" for whichever side secures the three points.
"It's a fixture that I've been in the periphery for a long, long time," Crichton said.
"I've come up against both sides as an opposition player, and now to be in here and to understand it a little bit better, I totally get it.
"It's not about me, it's not about my emotions. I'm striving to be as consistent as this club needs me to be, and that's all I can do.
"I respect it immensely, it's great, I'm really looking forward to it, I can't echo that enough. There's no better week to prepare for and we'll see what it brings.
"It's a game that we'll embrace, we're really looking forward to the challenge, I'm excited to see what the Old Firm fixture looks like. I'm interested to see how the two teams match up against one another.
"I think psychologically, for the players, an Old Firm game certainly for maybe 24 hours after it, you come away with bragging rights. But for us, whether we win the game or we don't, it'll give us a better understanding of where we're at for the season ahead.
"The hysteria around the fixture, as we know, growing up in the East End of Glasgow, for me personally, I absolutely get it. But my job when I'm here now and when I'm at the heart of it is to be level, is to be composed and is to be focused on the job, and that's all I can do."
The former midfielder wants her players to focus on the game and treat it as just another chance to gain three points.
Crichton tried to downplay the rivalry, but despite being so early on in the season, acknowledged the importance of a win against Elena Sadiku's side.
"It's all I can ask the players and the staff to do, is to treat it with the respect that the fixture deserves," she added.
"Because it's a huge fixture against one of our biggest rivals. But the reality is it's three points, and that is the focus.
"It would be the same regardless of who we play against, and the consistency factor for me just now is much more important than the fixtures and the opposition that we come up against."

A trio of derbies headline the action on Sunday as Hibs and Glasgow City make a return after campaigns in Europe last weekend.
Celtic and Rangers face off at New Douglas Park with both sides unbeaten so far this season. Elena Sadiku's Celtic side currently top the table with three wins from three, while Leanne Crichton prepares for her first Old Firm derby as Rangers head coach.
The two sides last met in May, when Celtic suffered a 1-0 defeat at home.
Hearts host SWPL champions Hibs, who are fresh off a victory over Cypriot side Apollon Limassol that saw them progress to the first round of qualifying for the inaugural Uefa Women's Europa Cup.
Eva Olid's Hearts have lost their last two ties at home to Hibs, despite a 2-1 victory on the road to their rivals in April.
Hamilton Academical travel to Motherwell for the third derby of the day. Both teams will be looking for their first win of the season after three tough losses a piece.
Last season's runners-up Glasgow City will hope to continue their clean-sheet streak as they face Montrose at home, while Partick Thistle make the journey north to Aberdeen.

Image source, SNSLeanne Crichton believes her playing and coaching career has put her in a "pretty good position" to lead Rangers as their new head coach.
The former Scotland, Glasgow City and Motherwell midfielder moved into coaching with Well and then City but also worked as a BBC Scotland pundit.
"I probably don't lean too much on the punditry side of things, that's one part of life that gave me an opportunity to speak about football and offer opinions," said Crichton.
"What I've tapped into most is my career in the game. My time as a player, the coaching pathway that I've come through within Scotland, the different experiences and managers that I've worked under, coaches, both head coaches and assistant coaches, the environments, everything that they tried to create.
"Trying to take the good stuff, eliminate the bad stuff, the things that you would do differently, and that's been very much what I've looked to try and do in terms of that consistency.
"Before I came in the door here, I had a really clear idea and methodology of how I want the game to be played and what I think it should look like and how all those behaviours around that should align.
"It's going to take a bit of time before that absolutely clicks and becomes the perfect thing. I'm not sure in football that you get there.
"There's been lots of experiences in life up to this point that have put me in a pretty good position to walk in the door and lead this group."
Crichton took over the reins at Rangers after Jo Potter left in the summer, and wasn't allowed much time to settle in.
The 38-year-old insists her side are in a "really good place" despite the "whirlwind" of change over the past few months.
"It's been really good, a busy whirlwind period certainly coming in the door, only 10 days and then straight into the domestic season so there's not been too much time to really stop and dwell or take stock too much," she added.
"I'm hoping maybe at the international break there might be a chance to draw breath but that's not anytime soon.
"The challenge at the job is everything that I thought it would be. The people within the building have been outstanding in terms of their reception and welcoming me in and going above and beyond to give me everything and I really mean that in terms of the playing group."
Image source, SNSScotland forward Kirsty Howat has left Rangers to join Crystal Palace for an undisclosed fee.
The 28-year-old scored 26 goals last season, matching her tally from the previous campaign, as Rangers won both cups and finished as runners-up in the SWPL.
She joins former Ibrox manager Jo Potter at the Women's Super League 2 club.
"Making this decision to leave the club I support and love has been the hardest decision I've ever had to make," she said.
"I have fulfilled my dream of being a professional footballer and to do it at the club I love and support has been a privilege."
Howat began her career at Rangers and had spells at Celtic and Glasgow City before returning in 2020.
Rangers celebrated their first title success in the following season.
Howat made her Scotland debut in 2024 and has added two more caps since.

Image source, SNSLeanne Crichton is "interested to see if it feels any different when you're standing in the dugout," as she prepares for her first Old Firm derby as Rangers head coach.
Crichton's side travel to face rivals Celtic on Sunday, and after a just a month in charge the former Glasgow City player is keen to see how her players perform.
"The hype and the hysteria around the game itself is probably the element that makes it a little bit different, there's an expectation that then transfers on to the pitch," said Crichton.
"The preparation this week has not changed. We've not gone about our business any differently than we would have done last week against Motherwell or the week previous, against Hearts.
"It's the early part of the season just now for me. It's about that consistency across the board and the consistency in the messages that we're delivering.
"I'm looking forward to the fixture. I'm interested to see if it feels any different when you're standing in the dugout. I'm excited for it. The players are really up for it. It's a good opportunity for us as well at this stage of the season to go again and get another gauge for where we're at and how much information we've taken on physically where we're at as a team."
And Crichton added: "What I'm looking for from them on Sunday is a Rangers team that are ready to compete, that are ready to embrace the challenge, that are going to go and take the game to Celtic and look to try and take as many positives from our own performance as we possibly can.
"We understand where the league is at and how competitive it's going to be, so in this early stage it gives you a real good chance to understand your opponents and how things might shape up as time goes on."
Image source, Hibernian WomenMilly Boughton is "excited" to play for Hibs after the midfielder left Arsenal to join the SWPL champions on a two-year deal.
The 19-year-old played last season with the Gunners' Under-21 squad and previously spent time at West Ham, Tottenham and Ipswich.
Boughton was part of the Australia squad at the 2024 Under-20 Asian Cup, where she played every match as the Young Matildas secured a bronze medal - their joint-best finish in the competition's history.
"I'm really excited to meet everyone. I watched the European game last week and it was really good to see everyone playing," said Boughton.
"I can't wait to see how I fit into the team, and I also can't wait to play in front of the fans on Sunday."
Head coach Grant Scott said: "Milly is a talented young player we are excited to have come into our squad as the new season gets under way.
"She is still young, with plenty of potential, and we hope to help her in her development."

Katie Cox (Aberdeen): A really solid performance for the Dons, ensuring a clean sheet to go with their win. A fine save at the death to keep Montrose out.
Emma Lawton (Celtic): Key defensively and also provided two assists in the 7-0 thumping of former club Partick Thistle.
Hannah Coakley (Hamilton): A defeat for Accies to Hearts, but they worked so hard defensively to keep the scoreline down and emerge with much credit. The back three worked well, Coakley just gets the nod ahead of her fellow defenders.
Jessica Broadrick (Aberdeen): Aberdeen's backline played their part in the club's important first win of the season and Broadrick was central to that.
Orla Burn (Motherwell): Just turned 16 and despite being on the losing side, was a real asset for Motherwell. She made some excellent blocks, tackles and was intent on trying to get forward to set up attacks.
Morgan Cross (Celtic): Has started this season really well, proving a key player for Celtic, and her clever finish made it 2-0.
Natalie Ross (Celtic): Reacted quickly to pounce on the loose ball for her goal. Quite the finish too. Before that played an integral role in the opener.
Lauren Wade (Hearts): Eva Olid's side weren't at their best, but the midfielder's assist for the opener demonstrated how hard she works. Had some joy down the left flank and tried to drive her side on.
Kirsty Howat (Rangers): In from the start and repaid her manager with a fine winning goal following lovely link-up play with Katie Wilkinson. Had other efforts well saved by the Motherwell goalie.
Alex Clarke (Aberdeen): Was lively going forward all afternoon, and was rewarded with her first goal for Aberdeen. Could have scored more if it wasn't for good goalkeeping.
Amy Gallacher (Celtic): Scored two goals to help Celtic to a convincing win that put them top of the table.

Montrose manager Craig Feroz: "Both teams were pretty poor, but the goal is the killer. We never recovered from that.
"We're used to playing under pressure and being underdogs. Today was pretty equal, but we could have played all day and it wouldn't have happened for us.
"The gap in the finances is miles apart but I was expecting a win today. There was nothing in the game, but that's football."
Aberdeen boss Scott Booth: "We knew we had two really tough fixtures to start the season. We started really well last week and that gave us the base to perform.
"You know playing against Montrose how much hard work you're going to have to put in.
"It will be very difficult to get into a run of wins in this league this season."
Image source, SNSRangers head coach Leanne Crichton: "First and foremost really pleased with the three points. I think in the league this season it is super competitive and we know how difficult sides like Motherwell are going to be.
"In terms of their recruitment and how they have strengthened and the level of respect that we have got for them. Hats off to them in terms of their application in the game and for us it is three points.
"We had to dig in and it was the type of performance towards the end that you don't necessarily want to see but the reality it is three points and you have got to manage the game and see it out and ultimately that is what we managed to do."
Motherwell manager Paul Brownlie: "They gave us everything. It was important we responded after last week. Our work ethic from start to finish was excellent.
"We knew we would have to spend parts of the game without the ball. Tactically, our shape was good. Could we show character with the ball? We did that.
"As a squad now, we grow. A huge game next Sunday so the attention has to turn to that."
Image source, Malcolm Mackenzie/SWPLHamilton Accies manager Robert Watson: "I think Hearts weren't really sure how to break us down at times.
"We worked really, really hard and that's a testament to part time players. We get them for six or seven hours a week training wise and they're able to deliver a performance like that.
"We put the plan together but the players are delivering it at the moment."
Hearts boss Eva Olid: "I was frustrated for 90 minutes. I cannot understand how we come from the performance at Ibrox to the performance today [Sunday].
"If you are not focused and concentrated you can drop points against anyone. I think the level of concentration wasn't right.
"I think the performance is so important. I hope we can get a reaction because it wasn't good enough [on Sunday]".
Image source, SNSAmy Gallacher scored twice in Celtic's 7-0 victory
Celtic manager Elena Sadiku: "We want to see progress every week and certainly we saw progress today [Sunday]. We were totally dominant, they didn't create anything. I am very pleased with the steps we took.
"Partick Thistle are not a bad team, they tried to stay compact and defend the goal but the girls stayed patient. I'm really proud.
"It's not only about big wins but how we play and act and deal with the game. We're showing progress and that's the most important thing."
Partick Thistle boss David Elliot: "We started well, we controlled the game at times, we forced them back and into positions they didn't want to be in.
"Then we lost a goal and it all crumbled thereafter. That's something we maybe need to work on.
"The players want to work for this football club, they're giving so much effort. They'll go away, learn from it and work hard during the week and hopefully improve for next week."
