Rangers lead the ScottishPower Women’s Premier League with Glasgow City out of the top two and Hibernian in after a goalless draw at Celtic.

Championship Group

Hearts 2-0 Motherwell
Glasgow City 1-2 Rangers
Celtic 0-0 Hibernian

Rangers had fallen behind to an early Glasgow City goal, when Nicole Kozlova cut the ball back for Brenna Lovera to finish. Kirsty Howat levelled before the break and Rio Hardy hit the winner, although City’s Kimberley Smit had a goal ruled out for offside.

Hibernian might have ended the evening top of the table themselves but were denied victory by several saves from Celtic goalkeeper Kelsey Daugherty.

Hearts beat Motherwell with two second-half goals, a Lizzie Waldie effort deflected into her own net by Jenna Penman and Naomi Powell doubling the lead.
