Must read

[BBC]

Lee Gibson (Glasgow City): It might not have been her busiest afternoon, but at 2-0 she saved a Thistle effort which, if it had gone in, could have put a different perspective on the match.

Stacey Papadopoulous (Hibs): Had a lot of joy breaking forward from the back and her deliveries set up two goals. She was a real threat down the flank.

Caitlin Hayes (Celtic): A steady and calming influence at the back for Celtic. Was happy venturing forward against Motherwell too.

Emma Lawton (Celtic): She’s stepped up a level with ease and is fast becoming a key player for Celtic. She’s so versatile, switching into the back three so naturally against Motherwell, and once again was an attacking threat with a goal and an assist.

Emma Brownlie (Hearts): As well dealing with her defensive duties, she’s also full of intent to get forward setting up attacks. Two assists this weekend and it could have been more.

Lisa Evans (Glasgow City): After a brilliant performance for her country midweek, she brought that to club level this weekend. Her experience is vital for City, and that was evident this weekend on and off the ball.

Kirsty Maclean (Rangers): Back in the Rangers team after injury and scored her first goals of the season for her side. Her second strike was a beauty from distance as she looped the ball in off the crossbar.

Lisa Robertson (Hearts): So influential for Hearts, and this weekend she among the goals too. She showed great technique to open the scoring for her side and she kept her cool to score from the penalty spot too.

Charlie Devlin (Rangers): Looks to be finding her feet at Rangers after her September move. Her hat-trick of goals, her first for the club, helped Rangers bounce back from their league slip up last time out. A good afternoon capped off with two assists as well.

Eilidh Adams (Hibs): Scored two quick fire goals, firstly putting Hibs in front then making the lead more commfortable. She’s in terrific form – that’s now 17 goals in 13 games.

Brenna Lovera (Glasgow City): Her return to form from a long-term injury has been impressive. She was back among the goals again this weekend as she helped City maintain their unbeaten streak. Aside from scoring she also tracked back when she had to halt Thistle in their tracks.
