Glasgow City 'ready to fight' in Europa Cup last 16

Glasgow City head coach Leanne Ross says her side are "ready to fight" when they come up against Sporting Club in the last 16 of the Europa Cup.

Glasgow City head coach Leanne Ross says her side are "ready to fight" when they come up against Sporting Club in the last 16 of the Europa Cup.

After a stunning second-leg comeback against Danish side HB Koge, winning 6-5 on aggregate, City will face Sporting next month.

"I don't think there's ever going to be an easy tie at this stage of the competition," Ross said. "It's certainly going to be a difficult night for us.

"But I think with the character you've seen on Wednesday, we're ready to fight and we're ready to be there for each other and just go as far as we can in this competition."

The City boss admits she's been in touch with former Scotland team-mate - and current Rosengaard boss - Shannon Lynn to get the lowdown on their upcoming opponents.

"I saw that they had played Rosengard in the previous round so I've been in touch with Shannon already," Ross said.

"If other clubs can help us in any way then that would be great and I like to think that we would do the same for other teams.

"It's good to have that network you can rely on to support your analysis a little bit."
