Hearts Women Win as Rest of the SWPL Top Five Draw

Hearts Women banked three midweek points as all the other sides in the SWPL top five had to settle for just one.

Hibernian 2-2 Rangers
Celtic 1-1 Glasgow City
Partick Thistle 1-4 Hearts

Glasgow City came away from Celtic with a draw after Natalia Wrobel’s late cross bounced straight into the net. Saoirse Noonan had earlier headed home from an Emma Lawton cross for the Hoops, who slip three points behind Hearts.

Carly Johns hit a hat-trick as Hearts won at Partick Thistle to go within four points of leaders Glasgow City. Jenna Slattery scored their other goal, while Olivia King netted one for Thistle to cut the deficit in half at the time.

Rangers twice levelled at Hibernian for a 2-2 draw but now sit four behind the Champions League places. Kathleen McGovern’s opener was replied to by Katie Wilkinson, and Tiree Burchill’s goal was cancelled out when Caroline Heron conceded an own goal.
