GLASGOW CITY have been given a date for their Women’s Champions League quarter-final against Wolfsburg.
Scott Booth’s side will take on the German giants on August 21 in San Sebastien, Spain.
Real Sociedad’s Anoeta Stadium will be the venue for the clash and will also host Arsenal’s tie with Paris Saint-Germain the following day.
The semi-finals are scheduled to go ahead on August 25/26, while the final will take place on August 30.
The WCL was put on hold in March due to the coronavirus pandemic but like the men’s tournament, the remaining games have now been given the green light to go ahead.
The quarter-finals and semis will be one-legged affairs as they are being played at a neutral venue, with the seven remaining WCL games all taking place at the Anoeta Stadium or Athletic Bilbao’s San Mames Stadium.
Glasgow City qualified for the final eight of the tournament for the first time when they overcame Brondby in dramatic circumstances.
The Scottish champions had a healthy 2-0 lead from the away leg but were pegged back to two apiece at Petershill Park before a penalty shoot-out triumph sealed a famous victory for Booth’s side.
Speaking after that game in October, Booth said: “It took your breath away, that one.
“It didn't go to plan first half but we came out in the second half and played really brave football.
“This is what we've been striving for four-and-a-half years - to get over that line and make the quarter-finals is amazing.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
