Adams excited for Hibs' European challenge
Hibs striker Eilidh Adams wants her side to "show what we can do" on the European stage this season. As the reigning SWPL champions, Hibs have the chance to play Champions League football. They face Danish side Fortuna Hjorring on 27 August, and striker Eilidh Adams says everyone at the club is "really excited" about the challenge. "For me and quite a lot of the other girls, it's a new experience," she said. "I've never played European football before so there's teams you're not familiar with, not really sure what to expect but it's an opportunity to go out there and show what we can do." Adams is aiming high this season in terms of personal targets. "Obviously, as a striker, it's the goal tally, I scored 27 last season," she added. "So this season I'll be looking to hit the 30 mark if I can." And she's hoping that kind of form will continue to attract the attention of the Scotland head coach Melissa Andreatta. After making her Scotland senior debut against Austria in the Nations League in February of this year, she won her first start four days later against the Netherlands and wants to experience the "privilege" of representing her country again. "I think it'll be hard to beat last season," Adams said. "It wasn't until the end of the season that I kind of reflected on it and thought, wow, that was incredible for me, what I achieved." "It's just about trying to continue with my form, keep improving season upon season. "So I'll be trying to put myself in the best possible position to hopefully get called up again."

'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. Advertisement Their prize for finishing top is a second round of Champions League qualifying tie against Danish title winners Fortuna Hjorring, in the champions path. 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. Advertisement "I mean, we've already surprised people by winning the league, so why not do it again? "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."
