Glasgow City v Rangers (16:10)
Just one more game to go this afternoon as Rangers travel to Petershill Park.
It's a must win for Rangers if they want to keep pressure on Celtic after their victory earlier on. But it's also a must win for City if they want to keep any slim chance of making their way back into the title fight.
We'll bring you the team news for that one very shortly.
HALF-TIME Aberdeen 0-2 Motherwellpublished at 14:55 British Summer Time 12 May
That's a half of football Aberdeen will want to forget.
If it wasn't already looking like a tough game to claw their way back into, that job was made even more difficult by Francesca Ogilvie's sending off.
FULL-TIME Spartans 1-0 Hamilton Acciespublished at 14:53 British Summer Time 12 May
A tough one for Accies who looked very much in the contest for most of that game.
It's a big three points for Spartans as they put some breathing space between themselves and the bottom two.
RED CARDpublished at 14:53 British Summer Time 12 May
Aberdeen 0-2 Motherwell
We're into injury time in the first-half as Francesca Ogilvie is shown a straight red card.
Aberdeen have now made a difficult job even tougher.

Aberdeen 0-1 Motherwell
It takes three claret and amber shirts to close down Bayley Hutchison in the Motherwell box but they win the ball back and go racing up the other end through Morgan Cross.
She has a collision with Alicia Yates in the Aberdeen goal who's now in need of some attention.
Postpublished at 14:27 British Summer Time 12 May
Spartans 0-0 Hamilton Accies
Bad news for Accies as Josi Giard is down getting some treatment, looks like her ankle.
