EDDIE WOLECKI BLACK, the Glasgow City head coach, will make changes for tonight's UEFA Women's Champions League qualifier against Glentoran after his side's 5-0 win over Slovakian champions Nove Zamky at Airdrie's Excelsior Stadium on Saturday night.
Goals from Cheryl McCulloch, Eilish McSorley (two), Suzanne Lappin and Denise O'Sullivan overcame initial stubborn resistance by the Slovaks.
The other group match, played at Falkirk Stadium, also resulted in a 5-0 win for Ukrainian champions FC Zhilstroy against Glentoran.
If, as expected, the two group leaders win tonight - Zhilstroy play Nove Zamky - the match to decide which team reaches the last 32 will be played at the Excelsior Stadium on Thursday. Only the eight group winners are guaranteed to reach the knockout stages, although there will be places for the best two runners-up.
Wolecki Black watched the Zhilstroy match before preparing his side for their evening game on Saturday. He said: "There will be a lot of changes to our side for the Glentoran game because it's impossible to go from Saturday to Monday with one day's rest and put out the same group of players."
Tonight's game is also at the Excelsior, with a 7.45pm kick-off.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
