Aberdeen came from 1-0 down at the break to win 2-1 away to top flight Spartans, for whom Kaela McDonald-Nguah had opened the scoring. The Dons struck back twice in a five-minute spell before the hour mark through Lauren Gordon and Chloe Gover.
Rangers led Glasgow Girls 2-1 at half-time but the match did not restart as the heavy rains had made the surface unsafe. Jade Gallon’s goal for Rangers had been quickly replied to by Chloe Docherty before Hannah Coakley restored the advantage.
Two ties went to extra-time as Dundee City came out on top in a seven-goal thriller with St Mirren thanks to doubles by Amanda Primrose and Lou Smith, Motherwell saw off Partick Thistle 2-0 with efforts from Katie Rice and Chelsea McEachran.

There was another 4-3 result but in normal time as Kilmarnock edged out East Fife, Laura Lyttle’s penalty equaliser setting them on their way, with Lisa Swanson, Abby Robinson and Suzanne MacTaggart adding a goal apiece.
First-half goals by St Johnstone’s Elllie Cowley and Rebecca McGowan were enough to knock out Boroughmuir Thistle.

Glasgow City also netted sixteen at Edinburgh Caledonia where eight came in each half and Kirsty Howat hit a double hat-trick.
Hibernian’s tie was put back due to their involvement in the UEFA Women’s Champios League.
