"It's not ours until we win it," said Docherty. "We've obviously won it a number of years and it's been great over the years this trophy, but we know that it's going to be a difficult test on Sunday. "It's the league leaders at the moment, who are at the top on merit, and so we need to make sure that we are we're on it but we're focusing on us as well.

"I love that about them, their attitudes are excellent week in, week out at training," she said.

"There's no pressure on them because I think us as a group and the togetherness we've got in the squad, we always make sure that everyone feels confident and ready for the game. "When you represent a club like Rangers there's pressure on you straight away to win silverware. "I know that myself, I was a fan growing up as a young kid.
