FALSE ALARM!

WHAT IS HAPPENING!

Free-kick City and the purpose does not stand!

It’s 1-1 and it is benefit Celtic as soon as once more!

INCREDIBLE!

Emma Watson is main the cost however City are holding sturdy.

There are gaps at each ends now – that is thrilling!

It’s attending to final likelihood saloon territory now and Lauren Davidson goes shut for City.

Fife holds it although and we stay all sq..

As issues stand Celtic will likely be champions whereas Glasgow City would take the second Champions League spot.

Rangers would miss out on Europe altogether in the event that they end third – so there’s nonetheless an enormous profit to profitable the sport even when it is not sufficient to say the title.

Sam Kerr is adamant she ought to have a penalty after Lee Gibson comes out to say an extended ball.

The keeper’s taken a sore one although and the referee believes there’s nothing in it.

Gibson goes down for therapy.

There is panic within the Glasgow City field as a Kirsty MacLean cross causes all types of trouble.

There are our bodies in every single place but it surely falls to Sam Kerr who will get it out of underneath her toes and lets one free.

But Gibson within the City purpose clutches onto it for expensive life.

Celtic stay in management and almost have a second as Caitlin Hayes heads simply broad.

They will likely be delighted if issues keep as they’re at Ibrox.

On comes the proficient Emma Watson alongside Chelsea Cornet as Malky Thomson makes the primary transfer from his bench.

He is aware of Rangers must win this one it doesn’t matter what occurs elsewhere – and one purpose might not even be sufficient if Celtic rating once more.

Off go Tessel Middag and Brogan Hay.

The extra this recreation wears on, the extra Glasgow City are exhibiting their class.

Especialyl Priscila Chinchilla who is admittedly threatening down the left wing.

She’s recovered although and is again on her toes and concerned within the play.

Kirsty Howat takes a sore one from Jenna Clark and she or he wants therapy.

Rangers cannot afford to be dropping her simply now!

If each side are conscious of what a purpose might imply, although, they may also pay attention to what conceding might imply.

And that is been evidenced in a nervy begin right here.

City know that it doesn’t matter what occurs at Parkhead, a win on this recreation is sufficient for them.

Rangers although would want purpose distinction of their favour so if Celtic get one other, they would want to win by two.

That means one purpose for City and so they look in actual hazard of lacking out.

As issues stand Celtic will win the league however each units of gamers will likely be effectively conscious of what is going on on at Parkhead.

And they now each know that one purpose will likely be sufficient to swing the title of their favour as issues stand.

We may very well be in for a belter of a half!

Mairead Fulton goes into the e-book but it surely’s a yellow card she’ll take for halting a harmful break from Howat.

Still no targets to report in both recreation as the half-time whistle approaches.

Just a reminder that two attracts are sufficient for Leanne Ross to get her fingers on one other SWPL title.

Another huge likelihood for the usually-clinical Kirsty Howat however she blares it effectively over the bar.

Maddie Nolf breaks free down the left and appears set to unleash one by herself however she selflessly pulls it again to Howat in a extra central place.

It’s a poor effort although and Rangers nonetheless haven’t got their purpose.

Celtic are on prime within the different large recreation however Hearts are standing sturdy.

Natasha Flint has gone shut as has Chloe Craig however no cube but for Fran Alonso’s aspect.

Last season’s PFA Player of the Year Chinchilla hasn’t been on this one as a lot as she typically is however she checks Jenna Fife with an ideal effort.

The Rangers shotstopper is the same as it although and we stay stage.

After a quick begin this one has settled down, maybe as nerves start to take maintain.

Rangers aren’t going for it fairly as a lot after a few scares on the different finish whereas City are glad simply to settle into the sport.

Straight up the opposite finish, Jenna Fife will get her toes fallacious and Emily Whelan very almost takes benefit.

The keeper recovers – simply – but it surely’s a warning signal that City do not want a lot to create an opportunity.

It’s been all Rangers within the opening exchanges and American defender Hannah Davidson is the most recent to go shut.

Her hooked effort following a set piece drifts simply broad.

After 20 minutes in each video games it is so far, so good for Glasgow City.

There hasn’t been a breakthrough at Ibrox or Parkhead and if it stays like this for an additional 70 or so then City will likely be champions for the 16th time.

A loooong approach to go earlier than they’ll begin interested by these celebrations, although.

Kathryn hill very almost has the opener however Gibson, again within the staff, is down to fulfill it at her left hand aspect.

Great cease from the skilled keeper who’s exhibiting her value already on this recreation.

We’re awaiting official affirmation but it surely appears like crowds at Ibrox and Celtic Park might effectively have damaged the 10,000 barrier.

Massive.

A harmful wanting ball excessive seems to place Priscila Chinchilla via however she goes simply too early and is named offside.

Warning signal for Rangers although who’re committing loads of our bodies ahead.

Former Glasgow City striker Kirsty Howat is likely one of the hazard gamers within the Rangers staff however she obtained all of it fallacious there, firing one effectively over from the sting of the field.

They’re serial winners this Glasgow City staff and have not wilted underneath the stress.

They’ve obtained a foot on the ball now with Hayley Lauder beginning to take management of issues.

Glasgow City must win this one to verify of the title however there’s an additional impetus for Rangers who know something apart from three factors will certainly not be sufficient.

And that has been mirrored within the early play at Ibrox as the house aspect have come out all weapons blazing.

Brogan Hay appears an early menace down the proper.

And we’re off at each Ibrox and Celtic Park!
