The first goal is always very important but we know the resilience that this Rangers team have.

They never ever give up, so Hibs will have to be switched on for the remainder of the half and ensure they keep Rangers quiet.

Penalty to Hibs!

A Ciara Grant free-kick is played low into the edge of the box and Michaela McAlonie is caught by Kirsty Maclean just inside the area. The referee has no hestitation.

In 10 starts, the English striker has scored 18 goals for Rangers. She didn't hit the target last week against Glasgow City - can she end her mini-drought today?

The wind has really picked up in the last five minutes at Meadowbank, and it's blowing at Rangers' backs.

So far, that means they've been over-hitting passes straight out for goal kicks. Who can get to grips with the conditions quicker?

That should have been a fourth for City. Confusion in the box as Mowatt and her defenders scramble for the ball, which falls for Lovera - but with the goal wide open, she manages to lift her shot over the bar.

Kirsty Howat is slipped in behind but Erin Clachers produces a big save. The flag is up to deny here anway.

It's looking like it'll be a busy day for Clachers early doors.

And our final kick off of the day is under way at a windy Meadowbank.

Rangers have started brightly, with Olivia McLoughlin almost getting in behind.

Rangers boss Jo Potter tells BBC Alba: "We're in a good position in the league, it's important to not forget that. We need to make sure we come out of this unscathed.

"It's important going into an international break with a good performance and three points under your belt.

"It's took us a while to get Camille [Lafaix] up to speed, it was always going to take her a while coming from the French league. She came in late in pre-season but she's trained well this week and she can bring something different."

As if Dundee United's task against City wasn't already tough, goalkeeper Beth Rennie has been shown a red card just minutes into the match for handling outside the area.

Beth Mowatt will come on in her place, but it's absolutely not the start the league's bottom side would have wanted.

Hibernian manager Grant Scott tells BBC Alba: "There's no hiding the fact it's a step up, no disrespect to the other teams. It's a real challenge for us today.

"We have an enforced change, Stacey [Papadopoulos] has been unwell so we've taken no chances. It's not a day for taking risks. The players have been playing well and deserve to keep their places at this moment in time.

"We know we can compete with the top teams, it can be difficult to have that belief."

We're in for a cracking game, based on both teams' recent form.

Both teams will want maximum points. Hibs are scoring some really good goals, but can they deal with Rangers defensively and show the composure required to dominate the ball?

Hibs won't roll over and have their bellies tickled.

Rangers have a point to prove after losing the league last season. They're cautious in approaching games this season.

We are under way at Foundation Park where Dundee United - who only have three players above the age of 20 in their line-up - host a strong City side.

Ten minutes later, Hibs and Rangers kick off in Edinburgh and remember you can watch that at the top of this page.

So Celtic get the win, but the one-goal margin is not what they expected.

Morgan Cross' ninth-minute volley was expected to be the first of many, but a resilient Spartans showing kept it to just one goal, spearheaded by the fine performance of keeper Alicia Yates.

Celtic remain fourth, before Glasgow City and Rangers kick-off - which will happen shortly.

There's a delay in play as Alicia Yates goes down after bravely collecting a through ball ahead of Maria McAneny.

She's back up, and can only watch as Saoirse Noonan has a great chance... but blazes it over the bar.

Celtic just cannot find a second. Saoirse Noonan tries again, turning in the box and firing one straight at Alicia Yates.

It's worth saying Spartans will happy with a 1-0 loss, too. Yates is content to waste time and dally on the ball.
