Glasgow City go into the final round of Park’s Motor Group Scottish Women’s Premier League fixtures with a two-point lead over Rangers whom they meet at Ibrox.

SWPL 1

Motherwell 2-3 Spartans
Hibernian 1-2 Celtic
Hearts 0-6 Rangers
Dundee United 5-0 Glasgow Women
Hamilton Academical 2-1 Aberdeen
Glasgow City 2-1 Partick Thistle

Glasgow City needed an 86th-minute winner from Priscila Chinchilla, after Partick Thistle’s Rebecca McGowan cancelled out Lauren Davidson’s opener.

Rangers hit Hearts for six, as Kirsty Howat rounded off her treble to make it 5-0 four minutes into the second half. The result put Rangers marginally ahead of Celtic on goal-difference.

Kit Loferski turned in Shen Menglu’s cross and Claire O’Riordan nodded in Jacynta’s free-kick to put Celtic two up before half-time at Hibernian, who replied in added time.

Becky Galbraith hit a hat-trick as Spartans won by the odd goal in five at Motherwell.

Hamilton defeated Aberdeen 2-1 but need to beat Dundee United next week to escape the relegation play-off final at their expense.

SWPL 2

East Fife 0-2 Boroughmuir Thistle
Montrose 6-0 Queen’s Park
St.Johnstone 3-2 Gartcairn
Stirling University 3-4 Kilmarnock

The final day will decide who will participate in the promotion play-off final, after St.Johnstone continued their interest with a 3-2 defeat of second-placed Gartcairn. Kilmarnock and Boroughmuir Thistle also remain involved, with victories at East Fife and Stirling University respectively.
