Hearts could win first SWPL title in penultimate weekend
Hearts are edging closer to their first taste of title glory as the SWPL nears yet another dramatic conclusion. Eva Olid's side are four points clear at the top with two games remaining and will secure their first women's top-flight title on Sunday if they defeat third-place Glasgow City at home. Hearts can even be crowned champions on Sunday if they lose or draw, providing Rangers slip up against Celtic.
Hearts are edging closer to their first taste of title glory as the SWPL nears yet another dramatic conclusion. Eva Olid's side are four points clear at the top with two games remaining and will secure their first women's top-flight title on Sunday if they defeat third-place Glasgow City at home. While City are out the running seven points adrift, they can still have a say in the destination of the trophy.
That's because if Leanne Ross' side beat Hearts, and then Rangers defeat Celtic in the derby, there will be just a one-point gap between the two teams heading into the final day. Hearts can even be crowned champions on Sunday if they lose or draw, providing Rangers slip up against Celtic. Before last month's 1-0 victory over City at Petershill, Hearts had lost the past three meetings between the sides.
In fact they hadn't ever beaten City in the league before last month. But the prize for another victory on Sunday is huge and Olid's side will need no more incentive than the chance to win a historic title. How to follow on BBC Hearts v Glasgow City will be live on BBC Alba on Sunday and you can also watch the action on the BBC Sport website and app.
That one kicks off at 13:10 BST. The Old Firm derby between Rangers and Celtic (16:00 kick-off) will be live on the BBC Sport website and app. There will be match reports from all of Sunday's games available on the website and app and you can watch all the highlights on Monday night's Sportscene programme at 19:30 on the BBC Scotland channel.
