I'VE BEEN UP FOR CUP SINCE 5AM

Caitlin dodges dog poo in the dark at the park as she trains for Hampden glory

THERE has been nothing glamorous about Caitlin Hayes' drive for glory this season.

5am sprints in a dingy local park as she swerves the dog poo. No alcohol. No junk food.

Meals weighed out to give the exact amount of protein and carbs. A Chinese takeout as a rare Sunday post-game treat has been the extent of the high life.

And as Celtic look to round off a season that has promised much but delivered no trophies yet, Hayes is determined that this evening's celebration will involve lifting the Scottish Cup- and celebrating with a honey shredded chicken and a Monday long-lie.

"I eat less and train more!" said Hayes about the awesome stats that have made her the fastest centreback in the SWPL this season.
