    FT: Partick Thistle 2-0 Hibs

    Partick Thistle manager Brian Graham tells BBC Alba: "First and foremost it is all about the players.

    "Every year since I have been involved with them they have made history. I knew we were going to win today, I had that feeling.

    "It is a fantastic achievement. as a coach, you need a good changing room and I have got that.

    "We saw the Partick Thistle fight in them today. The crowd were excellent and I think the girls really enjoyed it.

    "On a day like this it is about rolling up your sleeves and digging in for your teammates. We have got talent in the dressing room but we knew given the weather it was not gong to be a football match."

    When asked about the date for the final, when the Partick Thistle men's side are playing Arbroath away, Graham said: "They have got to change it.

    "We play on a Sunday all the time. It is just not possible for us to play on Saturday at 3pm. There is no way I am missing the chance to get to lead my girls out at a cup final."

    What a screamer to double the lead!

    Clare Docherty's pass finds Cara Henderson in the Hibs box but she just takes too long before attempting to get the shot away.

    HT: Partick Thistle 1-0 Hibs

    Hibs' Rosie Livingstone tells BBC Alba: "It is difficult to put that first half into words.

    "It is difficult in these conditions to get a foothold in the game but hopefully in the second half we can turn things around.

    "I have got a small back problem but hopefully it is not going to be too long until I'm back on the pitch."

    I think if Hibs are going to continue to try and build and possess the ball, they need to make better decisions and try and play the ball quicker.

  20. HALF-TIME Partick Thistle 1-0 Hibspublished at 16:57 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January

    Grant Scott will no doubt be relieved to hear the half-time whistle go, with his side reduced to 10 after Leah Eddie's sending off.

    The visitors had a decent start to proceedings but Thistle certainly grew into the game.

    A penalty shout was dismissed by the referee before Linzi Taylor managed to convert a free-kick just outside the Hibs box to give her side the lead.

    Still all to play for in the second half mind you, but Hibs have given themselves an awful lot to do.
