Spartans were relegated from SWPL 1 after suffering a 2-1 defeat to best-of-the rest Partick Thistle.

Montrose leapfrogged Spartans with their win over Dundee United and forced the Edinburgh club into the final relegation spot.

Hannah Robinson got the visitors up and running at Ainslie Park when she smashed one into the top corner from range.

Olivia King got her first goal in Thistle colours for the visitors' second when she fired low into the bottom corner from the edge of the Spartans box.

Erin Rennie pulled one back from the penalty spot with half an hour to play but they couldn't find an all-important equaliser that would have saved them from the drop.
