Rangers Women return to action today against Hearts in the penultimate match of the ScottishPower Women’s Premier League season — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Jo Potter’s side sit second in the table, level on points with Glasgow City but boasting a far superior goal difference. League leaders Hibernian are just three points ahead, with a massive showdown at Ibrox against Rangers looming on the final day.
But before thoughts turn to that potential title decider, the Light Blues must first focus on getting the job done against Hearts. A win today keeps the dream alive — and sets up a blockbuster finale at Ibrox, where three points could be enough to clinch the title thanks to that all-important goal difference.
Title Hopes Dented by Glasgow City Before Celtic Victory Turns Things Around
It hasn’t been all plain sailing for Rangers in recent weeks. A damaging home defeat to Glasgow City looked like it might end their title hopes. But when City and Hibs played out a hard-fought draw and Rangers edged Celtic 1-0 thanks to a composed performance, the door creaked open once again.
Few would have predicted Hibernian leading the way with two games to go. They’ve had an outstanding season, defying expectations to challenge the traditional powerhouses — Rangers, Glasgow City, and Celtic — for top honours. Celtic, meanwhile, have struggled and sit fourth, out of the running, in a season to forget for last year’s champions.
Rangers, however, still have everything to play for. Having already lifted the League Cup, a win today followed by victories over Hibernian and Glasgow City would deliver an historic domestic treble — a feat no team has yet achieved in the Scottish women’s game.
It won’t be easy. All three of these sides have taken points off each other this season. But the belief is there — and so is the talent.
MacLean’s Masterclass, Danger Up Front and Strength at the Back
Kirsty MacLean has been immense in midfield, with her performance against Celtic rightly earning plaudits. Up front, Rangers are blessed with attacking depth — Rio Hardy, Kirsty Howat, and Katie Wilkinson are all in fine form and pushing for starts.
Defensively, the partnership of Kathy Hill and Nicola Docherty has provided steel and leadership throughout the campaign.
A win tonight doesn’t just keep the title dream alive — it sets up an unforgettable finale at Ibrox. A title decider at home, in front of the Rangers faithful? You couldn’t script it better.
Let’s get the job done tonight — and give the fans the chance to witness history.
