‘Underdogs’ v treble hunters as Hibs visit Rangers in thrilling SWPL finale

Hibs beat Rangers 2-0 in their previous league meeting and have also beaten Potter’s team at Ibrox, where Sunday’s game will take place, but Rangers were 5-0 winners over Scott’s side in March’s SWPL Cup final.

“Taking the game to Ibrox has given that advantage that they can stretch the game perhaps more than they could at Broadwood,” said Scott.

“We believe that when we turn teams over and attack in the correct way, get support alongside the ball, that we can perhaps punish them if they are too expansive.”

Scott believes his team are the underdogs, even though they go into the game top of the table.

“We shouldn’t have any fear,” he explained. “Naturally, there’s excitement and nervous energy flying around. I’ve got to try and stay as calm and measured as always.

“If we go into the game with any other motivation than to try and win the game, we’d put ourselves on the back foot from the first minute. If we get to minute 89 and we’re level, then the mindset could change and we would allow that.

“We have to go in and play our normal way. It’s foreign to us to try and protect a scoreline.”
