Rangers are camped on the edge of the Hibs area, but the hosts are defending valiantly.

Meanwhile, the winds continue to pick up. I wonder how much worse it can get before postponement becomes a consideration?

Back under way at Meadowbank, where Rangers are looking to avoid an upset. They're unbeaten so far this season, but they'll need a lot of grit to come through this.

Natalia Wrobel comes close after dancing through the United defence, her shot curling just wide of the far post. City might be playing into the wind now but it's not impacted on their dominance of the game.

And we're back underway at Foundation Park...

Rangers will be hugely frustrated. They find themselves down, making bad touches, bad choices.

Hibs throughly deserve the lead, they've worked extremely hard and a clever set piece allows them the opportunity for a penalty.

Last week, it was Hearts beating Celtic. This week, we have another upset on our hands.

Rangers have had plenty of chances but, with the wind at their backs, have been unable to score.

Hibs meanwhile, have absorbed the pressure and hit Rangers with a clever set-piece that resulted in a penalty.

It's been a grim 45 minutes for the hosts. Beth Rennie's red card inside the first three minutes, handling the ball outside the box in a clash which also flattened Brenna Lovera set the tone for the rest of the half.Suzy Shepherd's side have yet to lay a glove on City - aside from a couple of corners, United haven't managed to get beyond the half-way line and have yet to land a single shot on target.City have been playing with the wind behind them but they're also utterly overpowering an inexperienced and numerically disadvantaged United side - can the hosts make any kind of difference in the second half?

Almost a disaster for Erin Clachers.

A dangerous-looking cross is clipped in by Brogan Hay, and Clachers can't quite judge it in the wind.

The ball bounces off her chest, over her shoulder, and almost goes over the line... but she just gathers it.

Hibs deserve to be the better side, no doubt about it.

They've been the better side on the ball and off the ball.

It's just whether or not Rangers can up the pace, move the ball quicker.

Rangers hit the woodwork again!

This time it's from distance, and it's Kathy Hill who struck it. Erin Clachers could only watch as it swirled away from her.

Four minutes to go until the break - can Hibs hold on?

The wind is wreaking havoc.

Hibs almost gifted Rangers a chance as Erin Calchers gives the ball almost straight to Rio Hardy, who is barged off the ball in the box.

Rangers re-work it, and Katie Wilkinson smacks the post with a shot from the edge of the box.

It's not getting better for Rangers. Brogan Hay has just gone into the book for lunging into a challenge on Kirsty Morrison.

That was reckless from the Rangers winger.
