The match saw a limited return of fans permitted and all tickets were snapped up.
Glasgow City overcome Hearts resistance
Glasgow City remain three points clear at the top after a 4-1 defeat of basement side Hearts, who had equalised early in the second half.
Hayley Lauder put away a cross from Julia Molin after only eight minutes but Hearts hit back when Paige McAllister headed towards goal from a corner and Mariel Kaney turned it in.
Janine Van Wyk and Niamh Farrelly both struck in a four-minute spell around the hour mark, with Aoife Colvill rounding off the scoring.
Rangers’ Arnot contributes a goal and two assists
Rangers ran out 4-0 winners at Forfar Farmington, as they bid to take the second Champions League berth.
Daina Bourma’s goal from a Rachel McLauchlan cross was the difference at the break, Lizzie Arnot had a goal ruled out before delivering a corner which Sam Kerr headed home.
Arnot was again the provider as Chantelle Swaby found the net, before scoring herself late on.
Spartans fightback to overturn two-goal deficit
Spartans are closing in on a fourth-place finish following a 3-2 victory at Motherwell, achieved despite trailing 2-0 at half-time.
The hosts struck twice in five minutes close to the break, through Jade Gallon and Kaela McDonald-Nguah.
Alana Marshall got one back on the rebound from her penalty parried by Truly Pollard, before scoring again from open play after a cut-back by Michaela McAlonie.
With 12 minutes to go, Marshall turned provider as McAlonie went through on goal who challenged by the keeper but the ball found its way into the net.
