LAST TIME OUT
CITY CREATE HISTORY WITH 3,000TH GOAL Glasgow City secured Champions League qualification and ensured they remain top of SWPL1 after an entertaining 6-2 win against Spartans at Ainslie Park. City raced into a 4-0 half time lead thanks to goals from Ode Fulutudilu, Hayley Lauder, Naimh Farrelly and Priscila Chinchilla. Subs Aoife Colvill and Sharon Wojcik added to the tally in the second half as Spartans responded with strikes from Katie Reilly and Rebecca Galbraith. Farrelly had a header from a corner saved before Love’s cross from the edge of the box was just over the head of Jenna Clark but Fulutudilu was diving in at the far post to turn the ball home. On 16 minutes, City made a bit of history when Jo Love set up Lauder to curl the ball into the net from the edge of the box for 2-0 and the club’s 3,000th competitive goal. A corner after 25 minutes was perfectly placed for Farrelly to head home from point blank range at the far post. On the stroke of half time, Chinchilla was fouled in the box and she slotted the ball beyond Alicia Yates from the spot to make it four. The frantic and frenetic pace of the first half influenced the start of the second with both teams taking a few minutes before an open final 20 minutes saw chances and goals for both sides. However, with 20 minutes left Spartans found the net when a cracking ball in from a Lana Marshall free kick found Reilly six yards out. Moments later though, City restored their four-goal advantage when Chinchilla’s cross found Nicole Robertson and when her shot was blocked, Aoife Colvill was on hand to follow up with the rebound. Chances fell for Colvill at one end and Galbraith at the other before the latter rounded Alexander and slotted the ball into the net despite the effort from City players to get back. Moments later however, the four-goal cushion was again restored as Sharon Wojcik fired the ball low past Yates.

MATCHDAY PREVIEW All you need to know....
One last push! That is what is required this afternoon as Glasgow City go in search of the SWPL league title as we welcome Rangers to Broadwood Stadium for the final game of a quite unique season. Fans are once again back in the stadium, as they were last Sunday as we secured victory in the capital away at Spartans. A point is required to secure a 14th consecutive, and 15th title overall, but Rangers know they need all three to have a chance of securing European football next season if Celtic slip up against Motherwell. The last meeting between the two sides saw a Priscila Chinchilla double secure all three points after Rangers won the opening game between the sides in December.
