Stacey Papadopoulos is "looking forward" to yet another test this week after a convincing win over Spartans started off 2025 on a high for Hibernian Women.

A trip to face Dundee United at Foundation Park, initially pencilled in for December before postponement, will take place on Wednesday 15 January; with kick-off set for 7:30pm. 

Sunday's 6-0 victory over cross-city neighbours Spartans was the perfect way to start off the new year.

"Coming back from holidays and the Christmas break, you want to come out with the win and get the three points.

"We did that pretty convincingly [versus Spartans].

"We are looking forward to this next one."

Papadopoulos featured from the bench on Sunday evening after starting 10 of the last 12 Hibernian matches. 

The Australian defender puts this down to jet lag and is excited by the prospect of three games in a week, as it gives the whole team an opportunity to get minutes in the legs after the winter break.

"We have got a deep squad at the moment so hopefully we can give some girls a deep run.

"It is an opportunity to get a run, especially for me coming back after the break with a bit of jet lag.

"It will be good to get a run, and hopefully get a win to continue our good form this season."

A trip Stateside called upon Papadopoulos over the winter interval. Thankfully for our number five, her Hibs teammates make up for the horrid weather in Scotland's capital. 

"I’m definitely not tanning now. It’s cold, very cold.

"But it’s good to be back with the girls and the team. I missed them."
