Celtic have won the SWPL title after a stunning late win over Hibernian saw them beat Rangers to the trophy.

The final day of the season began with Celtic level on points with their Glasgow rivals but holding a far superior goal difference.

Both sides knew that victory in their final fixture was likely to be essential and as Rangers raced to a 4-0 win over Partick Thistle, Celtic remained locked at 0-0 with Hibernian as the clock ticked down.

In the 90th minute a ball swung into the box from the right caused havoc in the Hibs defence and Amy Gallacher kept her calm to move into space and slot the ball into the net.

Her 25th goal of the season sparked wild celebrations and was enough to earn Celtic the title.
