Glasgow City are really struggling to get a foothold on this game, I know it's only been five minutes but Rangers have dominated so far.

Another great cross finds the head of Jane Ross but this time she can't direct it goalwards.
Brogan Hay then has a go from distance but she skies her effort.

Anna Oscarsson does well to hold off Jodi McLeary who was racing through on goal.
Rangers try to work it back into the box and Jane Ross gets a header off but she can't get enough power in it and Lee Gibson catches comfortably.

Glasgow City v Rangers (16:10)
Rangers boss Jo Potter tells BBC Alba: "It's got to a stage in the season where you can't slip up.
"You've got to get the three points however you can and hopefully score some goals as well.
"We've got a good squad, we've got to use it, it's there for a reason. I've got no doubt the players that have come in today are going to step up."

FULL-TIME Aberdeen 2-3 Motherwellpublished at 16:01 British Summer Time 12 May
It looked as though Aberdeen had completed a stunning comeback to share the points against Motherwell but that late, late goal from Chelsie Watson takes the points back to ML1 and should move Motherwell up into seventh.

Well it was coming!
Chelsie Watson finds the back of the net from Gibb's corner to potentially snatch all three points in Aberdeen.

Brooke Nunn would've had a great chance to win the game for the visitors but she slips at the pass is played into her feet.

Aberdeen 2-2 Motherwell
Motherwell are stepping up in the closing stages at Balmoral and win themselves a corner.
The delivery is claimed by Jeni Currie though and she's not rushing with her goal-kick...
Postpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 12 May
Aberdeen 2-2 Motherwell
Another free-kick for Motherwell, this one's in an even better spot just outside the goal.
Currie was jumping to make the save but Gibb's delivery is inches over the bar.

Aberdeen 2-2 Motherwell
Motherwell have a free-kick about 30 yards from goal after Bailley Collins was pulled back but the delivery is easily saved by Jeni Currie.

Just over 10 minutes of normal time left in Aberdeen.
Sounds like plenty of time to find a winner if you ask me!
