SWPL1
Aberdeen 5-1 Motherwell
Glasgow City 2-1 Hibernian
Hearts 2-4 Partick Thistle
Rangers 3-0 Celtic
Spartans 1-0 Hamilton Academical
Rangers remain top by two points after the victory against Celtic, who are now five points off the Champions league places and have played more games than the leading pair. Jane Ross netted in either half and Brogan Hay scored a timely goal soon after the interval, when blocking Olivia Chance’s attempted clearance.
Glasgow City had to come from behind to edge Hibernian 2-1 with a late penalty to keep up the pressure on Rangers, although they have played a game more than the leaders. Colette Cavanagh’s terrific volley for Hibs was cancelled out by Priscila Chinchilla’s header from a Tyler Dodds long ball, Lauren Davidson winning it from the spot on 85 minutes following a handball decision against the unfortunate Michaela McAlonie from a high-bouncing ball.

Glasgow Women 0-2 Stirling University
Queen’s Park 2-2 Kilmarnock
Stirling University got off the bottom with a fantastic 2-0 result at second-placed Glasgow Women, Mariluz Sanchez and Jaya Wilson their scorers.
Queen’s Park drew 2-2 with Kilmarnock but the Spiders are now bottom of the table, while Killie climb to fourth, goal-difference ahead of St Johnstone. Kilmarnock’s Alex Middleton had a retaken spot-kick saved but scored from the resulting corner to make it 2-1, only to soon receive a second caution after which the hosts equalised.
