City Take Top Spot
Noelle Murray lobbed Hibs keeper Jenna Fife to put Glasgow City ahead and it was 2-0 on 25 minutes when Hayley Lauder netted, soon after having a shot tipped over the bar.
Siobhan Hunter was denied a third for City as Fife blocked the effort well, keeping her side in the game before they pulled a second-half goal back, Rachel Small netting on the rebound from a Katey Turner strike.
While the reigning champions missed chances to make the game safe, they nearly paid the price but for Lee Aleander tipping over a Lucy Graham shot.
Spartans Check Celtic Progress
Spartans moved within a point of Hibernian, thanks to a late leveller at Celtic.
A 20-yard strike from Mairead Fulton had the Hoops ahead at half-time but Zoe Johnson replied to earn the visitors a point.
Gers Get Four
Rangers’ 4-0 result at Hamilton puts them just a point short of rivals Celtic in mid-table.
Rachael O’Neil’s powerful header in off the post gave the Gers a 35th-minute advantage, with Hannah Robertson lobbing the keeper to double the lead on half-time.
Chelsie Watson headed in a corner for 3-0 on 73 minutes and Claire Adams chipped in a late fourth from outside the box.
Dons Double Points Tally
The basement battle ended goalless, giving Aberdeen their second point of the campaign and lifting Stirling University out of the bottom two on goal-difference.
