Spartans force Vic Esson to tip a long-range effort over the crossbar and they win a corner.

Rangers win the ball back and get on the counter-attack but the ball is eventually gathered by Emma Thomson.

Getting back under way around the grounds!

Just the one goal separates these two at the break. Queen's Park are still very much in the tie and may feel hard done by to be a goal down at the interval.

A relatively comfortable lead for Motherwell going into the second half.

And that's the last act of the half!

Big 45 minutes coming up for both sides...

Emma Thomson makes a cracking save to keep out Rangers before the corner delivery goes over the crossbar.

Not the most comfortable of starts for Brian Graham's side at home, and they missed a few chances to make it a bigger scoreline at the break.

United will feel they are very much still in this game.

Katie Wilkinson goes down in the Spartans box and screams for a penalty as she shoots wide, nothing from the ref though.

Spartans 0-0 Rangers

Laura Rafferty takes a knock in the face and there's a break in play while her - and Kate Fraser - receive treatment.

A little under 10 minutes to play in Edinburgh and if Spartans can get to the break level, who knows what can happen in the second half...

Thistle are pushing for a second at Petershill but United hold firm.

Nearly half an hour played and only goals for Motherwell and Thistle to speak of so far.

Katie Wilkinson tries to get a shot away about 30 yards from the Spartans goal but a sliding challenge denies the prolific striker.

Lizzie Arnot delivers the corner for Rangers but, unusually for her, it goes straight out behind the goal for a Spartans goal kick.

Abby Callaghan smashes a shot from the edge of the box but it zips over the Aberdeen crossbar.
