Glasgow City and Hibernian dominate the SWPL as the league splits into top and bottom tiers for the final 10 games, setting the stage for an intense title race.

In a thrilling weekend of Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL) action, Glasgow City and Hibernian cemented their positions at the top of the league as the competition enters its crucial split phase. The top four teams, including Rangers and Celtic, are now set to battle it out in the final 10 matches, promising an electrifying conclusion to the season.

Glasgow City's Dominance: Glasgow City continued their impressive form with a commanding 4-0 victory over Motherwell. Striker Brenna Lovera opened the scoring just before half-time, setting the tone for a relentless second half. Midfielders Lisa Forrest and Natalia Wrobel added to the tally, ensuring City retained their top spot on goal difference.

Hibernian's Gritty Performance: Hibernian stayed neck-and-neck with Glasgow City after a hard-fought 1-0 win over reigning champions Celtic. Eilidh Adams' first-half header proved decisive, as Hibs held off a spirited Celtic side to secure three crucial points.

Rangers' Dramatic Comeback: Rangers showcased their resilience, coming from two goals down to snatch a 2-2 draw against Hearts. Substitute Laura Berry was instrumental, scoring one and assisting another, to salvage a point and keep their title hopes alive.

Bottom Half Battles: In the fight to avoid relegation, Queen's Park earned a vital point with a goalless draw against Partick Thistle. Meanwhile, Aberdeen's 1-0 victory over Spartans provided a much-needed boost in their survival campaign. Dundee United, however, suffered a setback with a 3-1 defeat to Montrose, further complicating their relegation battle.

As the SWPL enters its split phase, the stakes have never been higher. With Glasgow City and Hibernian leading the charge, the title race promises to be a nail-biting affair. Stay tuned for more updates as the season reaches its climax.
