Hibernian, Celtic and Glasgow City all made it back-to-back wins at the start of the ScottishPower Women’s Premier League campaign.

Partick Thistle 0-5 Hibernian
Aberdeen 0-1 Glasgow City
Celtic 5-0 Hamilton Academical
Motherwell 1-4 Montrose
Rangers 2-2 Hearts

Hibernian put five past Partick on Friday, Tiree Burchill only opening the scoring just before the break from a Rosie Livingstone cross, but quickly adding a second from the edge of the box. Caley Gibb tucked away the third and delivered for Eilidh Adams to head home. Adams later rounded off the scoring from Ciara Grant’s through ball.

Glasgow City won with the only goal of the game at Aberdeen on Saturday, Abi Harrison set up to score by Katie Lockwood in the first half.

Rangers’ Katie Wilkinson looked to have grabbed them the win against Hearts at Ibrox, with a quick brace after Olufolasade Adamolekun had the visitors ahead. But Eilidh Shore equalised with two minutes o the 90 to go.

Celtic beat Hamilton 5-0, with Saoirse Noonan, Momo Nakao and Maria McAneny getting first-half goals, Morgan Cross and Darra Dawson adding one each after the break.

Sophia Martin and Kaela McDonald-Nguah scored twice each for a 4-1 Montrose victory at Motherwell, whose Sophie Black pulled a goal back shortly after the interval.
