    Under no pressure, Hearts have given the ball away wastefully. Little things like that are the difference between the top three and the other teams at the moment.

    Hearts have to look after the ball a little better.

    Lee Gibson had to get down well there.

    Set-piece specialist Tessel Middag floats in a dangerous free-kick straight onto the head of her captain Kathryn Hill.

    The skipper headers isn't clean, but it does force the City goalkeeper into a reaction save.

    Rangers 0-0 Glasgow City

    City mighty just be slowly creeping into this game.

    Priscila Chincilla releases Lauren Davidson - a duo that the visitors will rely on today - but the latter is eventually crowded out. Yet to see too much quality. Nervy.

    Hearts get into the box for the first time, and Aimee Anderson has room... but her shot was well blocked by Chloe Craig.

    It was a superb ball across by Monica Forsyth with the outside of the foot, and Anderson's shot was on target. There was a gasp around Celtic Park. This won't be straightforward for the wannabe champions.

    Rangers get forward with intent for the first time.

    Brogan Hay tees up Kirsty Howat, who leans back too much and fires over into the Ibrox stands.

    First chance for Celtic, but it doesn't trouble Charlotte Parker-Smith. Jacynta crossed, Amy Gallacher took a touch to control but her shot drifted wide.

    Fran Alonso's side are being cheered to the rafters already by a very noisy home support.

    Another late kick-off, this time at Petershill Park.

    No title ramifications here, but we'll keep you update nonetheless.

    It's a strong Celtic team. If you look at what they've done since the split, they've taken 22 out of 27 points. The last three games they've been phenomenal.

    Fran Alonso said himself, the first half against Glasgow City wasn't good enough, it wasn't worthy of playing on this pitch [Celtic Park]. What a response we saw in the second half.

    They've had that experience in front of a record crowd, hopefully they'll take that in and come out flying.

    Finally, we're off at Parkhead.

    Some mind games in kicking off later, perhaps?

    What a special day for the women's game in this country. Three teams, each for their own reasons, deserve to be in this position. It's so exciting, it's what we want to see.

    I'm a firm believer that winning the league is hard and whoever does it, deserves it. None of these teams have been consistent all season. They'll all be in the dressing rooms thinking they can take home the title.

    This is every female footballer's dream. It's what you train hard for, day in and day out.

    Here. We. Go.

    A colossal day of women's football in Scotland is underway.

    Don't go anywhere!

    Rangers manager Malky Thomson tells BBC Alba: "We'll do as we've always done, treat it as one game. It's a massive occasion, but this is what we play for.

    "We'll focus on winning our game. That's our mantra all season, address this game in isolation. We're ready for whatever eventuality. We'll adjust personnel wise if we have to.2

    Leanne Ross tells BBC Alba ahead of her title showdown: "It's great for us to be in that position. At the end of the day, it comes down to this game.

    "I hope today's game puts on a spectacle for Scottish women's football."

    If expectations are fulfilled, we're set for a record attendance for a domestic fixture in Scottish women's football.

    Both games at Ibrox and Parkhead are hoped to surpass the current record of 9553, which was set just a couple of weeks ago as Celtic hosted Glasgow City.

    If you aren't able to soak up the atmosphere yourself, we've got you covered right across the BBC.

    Naturally, a final day title showdown in Scotland is always going to evoke comparisons to Helicopter Sundays in the men's game.

    On this occasion, given both games are taking part just miles away in Glasgow, the trophy won't be airborne at any point this evening. SWPL Managing Director Fiona McIntyre will be based at Hampden watching the game intently, before jumping in a car and travelling in the direction of where the title looks to be heading.

    Beware road users, any late drama could cause a sharp three-point turn as the trophy heads cross-city.

  19. City's Ross calls for calmpublished at 16:02 British Summer Time 21 May 2023

    Rangers v Glasgow City (16:10)

    Glasgow City manager Leanne Ross has said her side must not become lost in the occasion on this huge final day of the SWPL1 season.

    She said: "There's a huge excitement within the dressing room, within the club. We've had a full week of training, which is nice, because it's not happened recently in terms of the busy fixtures that we've had. We'll be fully prepared.

    "It's huge. There's obviously three teams that can still win the title. Probably in terms of excitement, probably the SWPL could've had written it any better for themselves.

    "We need calm heads but most importantly we need to go and play," she added of the Ibrox contest.

    "When we've got the ball, we need to be calm and composed and go and create opportunities to score but we need to defend really well because Rangers are a really dangerous team as well."

  20. FULL-TIME Dundee United 1-1 Hamilton Academicalpublished at 16:01 British Summer Time 21 May 2023

    So it will be Hamilton Accies who finish 11th, in the relegation play-off spot. They did their utmost to come from behind after Danni McGinley gave United the lead. Eilidh Austin got the equaliser, but it wasn't enough.

    And they will play Gartcairn in that play-off match. They secured second place in SWPL 2 just moments ago, courtesy of a 3-0 win over Stirling University. The goals came from Georgina McTear, Mhairi Hawksworth and Ami Robertson.

    That game is on 4 June, a 16:10 kick-off at Broadwood Stadium that is also live on BBC Alba.
