'The world's our oyster in Champions League'
Hibernian midfielder Kirsten Reilly sees no reason why Hibernian can't cause a shock in the Champions League, just like they did in the SWPL this season. The capital club surprised everyone by winning their first league title in 18 years - pipping Rangers and Glasgow City at the post.

Should they win that, they will face the winners of the match between Cypriot champions Apollon Ladies and Swiss title holders Young Boys. Reilly knows it's "a big challenge" but insists everyone at the club is excited by it and keen to surprise folks again. "Obviously, it's going to be tough opposition no matter who we got," the 29-year-old said. £They're a very strong team in their own league, but we're really looking forward to it and excited for the challenge.

"We are confident in our own ability, so we just need to take the same game we played last season into the Champions League and hopefully it'll work there as well. "The teams we have been drawn against are all great teams. They've won many leagues domestically as well, but I think the world's our oyster in this tournament. "We can win this little group that we're in and hopefully we can progress to the next stages."
