Head Coach Shania Watton said: “Our athletes have worked this season, and we couldn’t be prouder of every single one of them.

"The results were made even more special when just this week we found out our U12 team, Raine, had been awarded a bid to the 2027 European Summit.

"This means they’ve been invited to compete alongside some of the biggest clubs in Europe and represent Celtic Spirit on an international stage. For a local club like ours to have made such an achievement we couldn’t be prouder.

"The European Summit is one of the biggest competitions in cheerleading outside of America, and teams can only attend if they are awarded a bid, so this is a huge achievement for both the athletes and coaches.

"Everyone involved has worked incredibly hard and we’re so excited to travel to Portugal for the European Summit in June 2027.

"We’ve still got one more competition left this season, so there’s plenty more to come – watch this space!

"We’re also currently welcoming new members across all teams, from age 4 right through to adults, with spaces available in our recreational cheer and dance classes too.”
