Prior to those two games, Partick Thistle face holders Rangers in the Sky Sports Cup final on March 24 - live on Sky Sports.

Gary Hughes, Sky Sports' director of football, said: "After the success of last year's final, which had a record attendance, it's brilliant to be hosting the Sky Sports Final back at Tynecastle Park for a second year running. Eilidh Barbour will be on hand to bring fans closer to the action and the coverage will serve as part of a bumper Sunday for our Women's Football Weekend.

"There's also the title race, which could come down to the final day. To be showing big games like Rangers v Celtic on Sky during the run-in is fantastic and we hope it delivers the drama and excitement of last season."

Fiona McIntyre, SWPL managing director, added: "Attendances and viewing figures are at record levels for the elite women's game in Scotland. I encourage fans and those that have maybe never attended or tuned in before to get involved as we reach the finale of a fantastic season."
