Scottish Women's Cup: Hibs and Glasgow City cruise into final
- Published
Holders Hibernian cruised into their fifth consecutive Scottish Women's Cup final after 4-1 win over Motherwell.
They will meet champions Glasgow City in the final at Tynecastle on 24 November after they also won 4-1 against Rangers.
Amy Muir, Collette Cavanagh, Siobhan Hunter and Rachael Boyle scored for Hibs, who have won the trophy three times in a row.
Abby Callaghan netted a late consolation for Motherwell.
However, both semi-finals were played in front of a combined crowd of just 578 at Forthbank.
City fight back
Glasgow City fought back from a goal down to beat Rangers and reach their 13th Scottish Women's Cup final.
Carla Boyce had headed Rangers into a shock lead, but before the break Eilish McSorley levelled for City.
And City took control in the second half with Sam Kerr and a Rachel McLauchlan double sealing a place in the final.
There was some injury concern for City head coach Scott Booth ahead of Wednesday's Champions League last 16 tie away to Brondby, with Leanne Crichton going off injured in the first half.
The Scotland international suffered an injury to her shin following a challenge by Rangers' Chantelle Brown, and Booth says it would be a "huge loss" were she not to recover in time.
'We want it as much as anything else'
Hibernian head coach Grant Scott: "That's four Scottish Cups in a row for the squad, four finals in a row for me as coach, so I'm looking forward to it. Based in Edinburgh, we'll hope for a big crowd, and see what happens on the day.
"We want it as much as anything else. We're cup holders - we wanted to defend that all the way to the final and we're doing that now. It's a brand new trophy, ours is the only name on it so far, we want it to be ours for another year, so there's motivation for the players just to win the final."
Glasgow City head coach Scott Booth: "Rachel McLauchlan has been such a great addition to the squad. She's a top, top player. She has everything to be honest.
"Her performance today shouldn't harm her Scotland chances, she's 100% good enough to get into that squad and she knows it."
