A very early chance for Rangers. Rio Hardy's pass to the centre of the box is picked up by Chelsea Cornet but her shot is straight at Kelsey Daugherty.

They're back out now and we're underway for the second half.

Rangers are back out on the pitch nice and sharp, no sign of the Celtic players though...

Memories of losing a cup game to Celtic will be fresh in the memory of Rangers supporters and the players.

The sides faced off in the Scottish Cup final back in May 2023 where the Hoops won 2-0 to lift the trophy at Hampden.

All square at the break.

Both sides had their fair share of chances but it was Rangers who looked the more likely of the two sides to score.

Celtic managed to hold them off and create a few chances of their own.

Still all to play for in the second half.

Chloe Craig gets herself all out of sorts trying to clear the ball.

The eventual shot goes wide but a nervy moment for the Hoops.

After a spirited attacking spell, Celtic have a free-kick in a dangerous area.

Amy Gallacher takes but Rangers get it away pretty comfortably.

Elena Sadiku is clearly right up for the occasion.

The ball goes out for a Rangers throw in and the new Hoops boss grabs it and spins away from Nicola Docherty.

Rachel Rowe tries an audacious shot from distance and she's not far away as her shot smashes off the woodwork.

Ceyla Barclais has the chance to put Celtic ahead.

Amy Gallacher's cross takes a deflection before landing at the feet of Barclais who tries to take the shot with her right foot but gets all tangled and the strike goes wide.

"It's fair to say that Rangers' midfield are dominate. You can se the influence that Kirsty Maclean and Rachel Rowe are having. It's too easy for Chelsea Cornet to get it out her feet and have a strike at goal."

Oh no she's back quick as a flash - Celtic back up to 11.

Natalie Ross is having to run off the pitch and down the tunnel to change her kit, Celtic down to ten for the moment - can Rangers capitalise?

Another chance for Rangers as Brogan Hay fires a ball into the box. Chelsea Cornet gets on the receiving end but again the strike is wide and Celtic survive another attack.

Just wide from Rachel Rowe.

The forward the ball up in the middle of the Celtic box but her strike rolls wide of the post.

Celtic are having to hold firm from a wave of Rangers arrack but eventually manage to get the ball clear.

The Gers come back and win themselves a corner but the Hoops defence clear it comfotably.

"Maye both teams are overplaying it. It's about trying to get that ball forward quicker."

Rangers with a chance now.

Rachel Rowe squares it from the edge of the box but Kelsey Daugherty comes out to smother it.

Amy Gallacher's free-kick is floated into the box and Rangers keeper Victoria Esson comes out to clear and can only punch it away. The rebound is then headed off the line by Kathy Hill.
