It's the latest of our Women's Football review as John B and Dave take a look at recent events in the Scottish game.
The Scotland National Team had a good Easter weekend with a 1-0 win over World Cup hosts Australia in London, and followed this up with a resounding 4-0 win over Costa Rica at Hampden. 17 year old Emma Watson grabbed most of the headlines with two eye catching performances, and two goals at the National Stadium, and the guys talk up her prospects, including a potential move to Manchester United though staying at Rangers can't be ruled out. With the inaugral Nations League draw looming, it was two confidence boosting wins for Pedro Martinez Losa's side as they seek to reach the next European Championship Finals in 2025.
Before last weekend, Glasgow City were eight points clear of Celtic and nine ahead of defending champions Rangers. Consecutive home defeats to the Old Firm within four days has whittled that gap down to just three points between the three sides. Can Leanne Ross galvanise her side to recover from those setbacks and reclaim the title, or will one of their city rivals pounce? At the other end, Aberdeen took a huge step towards safety with consecutive wins over Hamilton and Dundee United, taking them eight points clear of Accies in that playoff position. The battle to face the SWPL1's 11th placed side is intensifying with seven points seperating four teams, with Montrose closing in on the SWPL2 title thanks to a commanding ten point advantage.
It's a big weekend in the Women's game as the Scottish Cup Semi Finals take place, and the first time both will be at Hampden. Treble-chasing Rangers face underdogs Motherwell on Saturday at 1230pm, whilst it's a repeat of last seasons final on Sunday as holders Celtic take on Glasgow City, again at 1230. Tickets are £10 adult £5 concessions so anyone who can should get along to the National Stadium for potentially two cracking Semi Finals.
