Celtic announce double-signing while confirming double exit

The women’s team of Celtic FC has confirmed the departure of Shen Mengyu and Shen Menglu and announced the recruitment of Signe and Mathilde Carstens.

Signe and Mathilde Carstens, twin sisters, join the team from Fortuna Hjorring in Denmark. Mathilde’s “direct and technical skill” in the closing third and Signe’s ability to contribute in central sections of the pitch are highlighted on the official Celtic website.

The 22-year-olds Signe and Mathilde, who played for Fortuna Hjorring in their 2021 last-16 match against Barcelona, bring expertise from the UEFA Women’s Champions League to Glasgow as Elena Sadiku’s team prepares for the next campaign in European competition.

Head coach Sadiku commented on Celtic FC Women’s double swoop, saying on the team’s official website: “I’m thrilled that Mathilde and Signe decided to join Celtic.

It demonstrates unequivocally that players overseas share our vision and our goals for the next few seasons.

“Signe is a great player with exceptional in-game understanding and technical ability on the ball, while Mathilde, with her outstanding dribbling ability, will enhance our game with both assists and goals.”
