Glasgow City finish 2024 on top of SWPL as Hibs stun Rangers

Glasgow City go into the winter break five points clear at the top of the SWPL after thrashing Dundee United as Hibernian stunned second-place Rangers 3-0.

Defending champions Celtic eased to a 5-0 win at Spartans while Montrose moved out of the relegation zone with a 1-0 victory over Queen’s Park.

Third-place Hearts were held to a goalless draw at Motherwell.

Hearts, having played a game more, are now just two points clear of Edinburgh rivals Hibs, who produced a devastating performance to inflict Rangers’ second defeat on the spin.

Kathleen McGovern scored either side of half-time at Broadwood, chipping Rangers goalkeeper Vic Esson from inside the box before pouncing on a defensive slip-up to smash into the top corner. Substitute Rosie Livingstone made it three late on.

The result allowed Glasgow City to extend their lead at the top, with Katie Lockwood and Lisa Forrest scoring doubles in the 7-0 rout of bottom club United. Amy Muir, Sam van Diemen and Brenna Lovera also netted.

Braces for Emma Lawton and Saoirse Noonan, plus a Kelly Clark strike, saw off Spartans to keep Celtic nine points behind City with two games in hand.

Montrose are out of the bottom three – above Aberdeen on goals scored – after Louise Brown got the only goal against Queen’s Park.

Aberdeen’s game with Partick Thistle was postponed because of high winds.

The SWPL action resumes on 12 January.
