A first-half Leanne Ross free-kick went in off the bar to give Glasgow City the lead at Celtic and Kirsty Howat secured their progress with an effort after the break from a Rachel MacLauchlan pass.
Rangers edged out SWFL 1 North outfit Aberdeen, the Dons were undone by the only goal of the game, scored with a 12th-minute Clare Gemmell penalty after Brogan Hay was taken down inside the box. Bailey Hutchison went closest to an equaliser for the underdogs but her shot ran onto it before flashed across the face of goal.
Amy Gallacher gave holders Hibs an early lead against SWPL 2 side Hamilton but it wasn’t until the last 25 minutes that Siobhan Hunter sealed victory with two goals, the second from the spot.
A hat-trick from Chelsea McEachran, single by Lauren Doran-Barr and Myia Arbuckle against Queens Park saw Motherwell reach the last four for the second successive season.
