Head Coach, Grant Scott, told celticfc.com: “Poppy is a player I’ve worked with in the past and she was a raw, exciting striker back then.

“I’ve watched her progress over the seasons and she’s another young talent who needs games and consistency, and we’re looking forward to helping her show her qualities here.

“Tara is another exciting young player who has already gained full international experience.

“She’s a very athletic prospect who will benefit from regular football, and we’re delighted to add her to the group.”
