Celtic Women edged a narrow 1-0 victory over Montrose LFC Women in the Scottish Women's Premier League on January 25, 2026. This single-goal win was a professional if not spectacular performance from Celtic, who did enough to secure the three points against a stubborn Montrose side. The only goal of the game came from a moment of attacking quality or a defensive error, allowing Celtic to take a lead they would protect diligently. Montrose defended resolutely for large periods and posed a threat on the counter-attack, but could not find a way past Celtic's defense. The key to the match was Celtic's ability to keep a clean sheet and manage the game after going ahead. This win kept Celtic in touch with the league leaders, though they would have hoped for a more convincing scoreline.
