Rangers just one point clear of Celtic and Glasgow City in the Scottish Women's Premier League after first post-split fixtures; Hamilton Accies, Dundee United, Spartans and Montrose in relegation battle; watch Rangers vs Partick Thistle in Sky Sports Cup final live on Sunday on Sky Sports
Monday 18 March 2024 18:54, UK
It is all to play for at both ends of the Scottish Women's Premier League table after the first round of post-split fixtures.
Leaders Rangers lost against rivals Celtic, meaning there is just one point separating the Old Firm and champions Glasgow City.
At the other end, Montrose beat Dundee United to move six clear of bottom club Hamilton Accies who are on 10 points alongside United in the relegation playoff spot - with Spartans just three points ahead of the bottom two.
All clubs will face each team in their half of the table twice between now and May 19 - so here's a look at all the key games...
Following that win for Celtic over Rangers in the first post-split fixtures, Glasgow City host Celtic on March 31 before visiting Rangers on April 14 - live on Sky Sports.
The reverse of those fixtures sees Celtic take on Glasgow City at home on May 1 before visiting Rangers five days later - live on Sky Sports - with Rangers at Glasgow City on May 12.
Rangers are at home to Partick Thistle, Celtic host Hibernian and Glasgow City welcome Hearts on the final day of the season.
Before all those games - after finishing in the top-six for a second consecutive season Partick Thistle take on Rangers in the Sky Sports Cup final on Sunday - live on Sky Sports from 1pm.
With Hamilton Accies, Dundee Utd, Spartans and Montrose in a battle to stay up, there are key games to look out for at the other end too.
Montrose beat Dundee United to move six clear of the bottom two after the first post-split games, while Accies and Spartans both lost.
Accies face Montrose, while Dundee United take on Spartans on March 31, before Spartans then play Montrose on April 14 with Hamilton Academical versus Dundee United three days later.
Accies and Spartans go head-to-head on April 21 with United hosting Hamilton Accies at the start of May.
Days later Montrose face Motherwell again before Spartans are at home to Hamilton Accies the week after.
The season ends with the current bottom club Hamilton Accies playing Montrose, while Dundee United host Motherwell and Spartans welcome Aberdeen.
SWPL managing director Fiona McIntyre said: "Last season gave us one of the most dramatic conclusions ever seen in the Scottish game, with many twists and turns as clubs navigated the post-split fixtures.
"Already, the 2023/24 ScottishPower Women's Premier League is shaping up to be just as compelling at both ends of the table. Just four points separates the top three teams, and just three points separates the bottom four.
"Every fixture over the next two months will contribute towards the race for the title or battle to avoid relegation.
"The feedback from across the game has been that the split was a welcome addition to the women's game last season, creating incredible drama and allowing us to showcase the very best of women's football in Scotland.
"We expect it will have a similar impact this season and we now look forward to a fantastic finale with the title, European qualification, and avoiding relegation all being played for across the next few months. We encourage fans to play their part and to get along to a ScottishPower Women's Premier League match as we enter the final 10 rounds of the season."
