Hearts Women beat Rangers to move two points clear at the top of the ScottishPower SWPL, while Glasgow City climbed into second place.

Rangers 1-2 Hearts
Hibernian 1-0 Celtic
Partick Thistle 0-2 Glasgow City

Hearts held on to edge Rangers 2-1 after Lauren Wade forced an own goal from the unlucky Jodi McLeary in first-half stoppage time, and Carly Johns fired in from a tight angle. Calliste Brookshire pulled one back for Rangers, but only in the dying minutes.

Emma Brownlie gave Glasgow City a first-half lead at Partick Thistle with a diving header from Mebae Tanaka’s cross. Midway through the second half, it was 2-0 when Linda Motlhalo’s effort was deflected into her own net by Addie Handley.

Hibernian edged Celtic 1-0 at Meadowbank Stadium, with a 53rd-minute Eilidh Adams penalty to leapfrog them into fourth spot in the table.
