Hibs Ready for City Clash

Hibernian FC Women's Head Coach Joelle Murray just dropped a fitness update on her squad

before tonight's clash at Peter Show Park against League.

Leaders Glasgow City.

Hibbs are aiming to stretch their unbeaten league streak against City to six games.

Most of the key attackers are back in action, including Kathleen McGovern and Ilyd Adams,

plus Captain Rachel Boyle and Vice Captain Ellis Nottley.

After shaking off their issues, Murray says the squad lets pretty healthy overall,

even after a tough three-game week that brought some knocks.

The big losses are Lindsay Taylor, with a torn ACL and Kirsten Riley sidelined by a calf injury

from the Celtic match. Both are out mid to long-term, but Taylor's already pushing through rehab

like a champ. Fans and players are buzzing from Hibbs's fresh Sky Sports Cup final win over Rangers

this weekend, keeping spirits sky high. Murray called it devastating for Taylor, but praised her

toughness, and the whole team fired up for these big rivalries that always delivered drama.

On the international front, nine Hibbs players got call-ups for their nations during the April

break from senior squads to under 23s and under 19s. Murray thinks they deserve it for their

domestic form and even argue Tyree Birchell earned a spot too. She'll bounce back stronger.

Two hot teams colliding out West, both in top form, so expect fireworks that neutrals will love.

Hibbs are ready to relish every minute.
