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 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."
