GLASGOW CITY striker Clare Shine has sent a bold warning to English champions Chelsea – We are coming to get you.

The London club clinched their first ever Super League 1 at the weekend with victory over Sunderland just days ahead of their Champions League last 32 first leg with the Scots tomorrow.

While the Blues were celebrating that landmark moment, City were rampaging their way to a momentous occasion of their own as a 2-0 win over title-rivals Hibs virtually sealed their ninth SWPL crown in a row.

Scott Booth’s team are riding high on a wave of confidence that has swept through their entire season, and Shine has backed that positivity to flow into their game tomorrow night and bring Chelsea’s title party to a shuddering halt.

She said: “I think we are very confident going into the Chelsea game because of our performance on Sunday. Everyone was really positive after the game. To get a 2-0 win over Hibs really was an excellent result.

“We have drawn with Hibs all season but I think we were more prepared this time and we were all really up for it on the day. We were kind of preparing for the Chelsea game too and that helped stand us in good stead.

“It’s probably one of the biggest games of our season because now they have won the English league it’s a massive task. Everyone is looking forward to it.

“To get a result down there would be excellent.”

Glasgow’s self-belief should not be mistaken for over-confidence. While domestically their dominance is significant and their run to the Champions League quarter-final last term tells a story of a team with a track record of performing on the continent, Booth’s team are well aware of the threat Chelsea will pose.

They are a team littered with internationalists, including England strikers Fran Kirby and Eniola Aluko – the sister of former Rangers man Sone – and Shine is not taking the challenge lightly.

“I think because of how well England did in the World Cup it has raised the profile of the game down south. Chelsea have top, top players," said the Irish striker.

“They are professional footballers who are training every day and night. It’s just a massive difference given the money pumped into English football.

“It is not beyond us, though. It’s a huge task and I think we are going to well up for it. They are going to know they were in a game, that’s for sure.

“They will probably underestimate us. They will be on their high horse because they are the English champions and we are a team from Scotland.

“Having said that, they may be aware of the class we have and that our team is filled with internationalists."

Shine joined Glasgow back in May from Raheny United and has enjoyed a fruitful spell so far that has seen City win every game since her arrival. Having represented Republic of Ireland at various levels, the striker is no stranger to high-pressure matches or the big occasion.

However, she concedes tomorrow night’s Champions League is a completely different prospect.

“It’ll probably be one of the biggest games I’ve ever played at club level,” she said.

“To play against Chelsea with the qualities they have. It’ll be weird having watched them in the World Cup and now coming up against them.

“We are going down to get a result. That is the most important thing. We are well prepared.”
