Women’s Scottish Cup Final: Rangers and Hearts seek history at Hampden

When the nominations for SWPL manager of the year – which Potter went on to win – were announced, Olid’s omission raised eyebrows.

In her three years in charge, she’s taken Hearts from bottom of the league to back-to-back fourth-place finishes and a first cup final. And the Spaniard has no plans of stopping there.

“We still want more. I really want to win titles, but I know it’s little by little,” she said.

Milestones have been hit this term though. In addition to the win against Rangers, Hearts drew with both Celtic and Glasgow City. Last season they finished 29 points short of third, this term the deficit was 19.

Progression Olid is proud of, but she craves more than that. She’s eyeing a change in vernacular, away from the “boring, big three” narrative.

“We want to win more consistently against them,” she added. “We celebrated big the win against Rangers but we want that to be normal, we want to do it more often.

“We want to stop talking about the top three, that’s the objective. It’s so boring, ‘top three, top three, top three’, we want to stop that.”

If Hearts celebrated the league win in style, one can only imagine the party bus back along the M8 on Sunday night should they stage a shock.

And that it would be. Although this trophy has eluded Rangers, it’s their fourth consecutive domestic final while Hearts are entering unchartered territory.

“We have to believe we can beat them, because if not, what is the point?” Olid said.

“But at the same time, we have to enjoy the experience, we don’t have any pressure.

“They come with a lot of pressure, the normal thing is they win, they just have to, if not it could be a disaster for them.”
