It was two out and two in at Celtic FC Women today with Celtic’s Chinese stars Shen Mengyu and Shen Menglu both leaving the club and the arrival of Danish twins Signe and Mathilde Carstens as Elena Sadiku once again dipped into her extensive contacts to secure what looks like a brilliant double signing.

The 22 year-old twin sisters have both signed two year contracts at Celtic as the club moves away from the previous norm of 12 months deals with many new arrivals.
Both players arrive at Celtic from Danish side Fortuna Hjørring. Celtic describe Mathilde’s playing attributes as direct and technical skill in attacking areas, whilst Signe adds more options to the centre of the pitch for the Ghirls. So that looks like a number 10 and a six.
Both Carstens sisters are products of Fortuna Hjørring’s Academy system and both players arrive with experience on the domestic and international fronts.
