Raging Elena Sadiku explodes at Celtic and tells players 'that's the WORST performance I've seen'

Raging Elena Sadiku claimed it was the “worst performance” she has seen from Celtic after her side lost 1-0 to Hearts - and warned that she won't stand for it happening again.

The defeat pushes Hearts into third spot but leaves Celtic six points off of top-of-the-table Rangers and five behind second placed Glasgow City. The top two drew 1-1 at Ibrox on Saturday afternoon. And furious Sadiku insisted she had no idea why the performance was so poor from her side.

Celtic lost their opening Champions League game to FC Twente last Tuesday night and now have to rally ahead of a daunting challenge against Real Madrid in Spain on Thursday. Kayla Jardine’s first-half effort took a deflection off of Maria McAneny before beating Kelsey Daughterty.

Sadiku rang the changes at the interval and there was more purpose about Celtic but Hearts held firm to take all three points. “The first half is the worst performance I have seen,” said Sadiku. “It was not Celtic at all. There was no energy, no confidence.

“I don’t know why. That is something that got fixed in the second better where it was much better. There was only one team on the pitch and we created enough chances to win the game but unfortunately it was not to be.

“It is not good enough. I am just happy that we have players coming back who have energy like Amy Gallacher and Lucy Ashworth-Clifford, important players for us. I am very disappointed but we need to learn from this and make sure it never happens again – I will make sure it never happens again.”

Hearts have been keen to close the gap on the top three and this result will be seen as vital in their quest to do that. Fourth placed Hibs comfortably dismissed Spartans with a 4-0 win. Eilidh Adams claimed a hat-trick with
