Glasgow City hit Motherwell for six to stay top, Lauren Davidson and Priscila Chinchilla each on target twice, the latter with two spectacular strikes from outside the box.

Rangers also put six past Partick to hold a strong position with games in hand. Thistle did score first through Linzi Taylor but Kayla McCoy replied with a hat-trick and Lizzie Arnot got a couple.

Celtic sank hosts Aberdeen 3-0, Charlie Wellings setting them on their way with her 25th goal of the season just eight minutes in. Jacynta Galabadaarachchi fired over keeper Aaliyah-Jay Meach on the turn to double the lead after the break and Tegan Bowie added a last-minute third.

Spartans went fifth after a local derby defeat of Hibernian, Becky Galbraith scoring with a powerful strike just before half time and then a header from Alana Marshall’s corner on 63 minutes.

Hearts were held by basement side Hamilton, a goal each coming in the first half hour. Maria McAneny’s reverse pass saw Aimee Anderson blast Hearts ahead, Lauren Evans levelled from a Kirstie McIntosh corner for Accies.
