SWPL roundup: Big wins for Glasgow City and Hearts to go joint topSNS Group

Glasgow City and Hearts have moved joint-top of the Scottish Women’s Premier League with big wins over the weekend.

Former champions City recorded an 8-0 win over Queen’s Park at K-Park on Sunday with Nicole Kozlova hitting a hat-trick and Sofia Maatta scoring two.

Hearts beat city rivals Hibs 4-0 at Easter Road on Friday with goals from Eilidh Shore, Georgia Timms, Monica Forsyth and Jackie Richards.

That means both sides move on to 15 points alongside league leaders Rangers who are not in action this weekend due to playing in the Champions League qualifiers.

Jo Potter’s side crashed out of the competition after losing to Arsenal and then Atletico Madrid but remain the only team with a 100% winning start in the SWPL.

Celtic have also been in Champions League action as they reached the second round for the first time with victories over KuPS and Gintra.

They are now just one tie away from taking part in the group stages, but have dropped to fourth in the league and two points behind all of the top three, albeit with a game in hand over City and Hearts.

Elsewhere in the top flight Partick Thistle beat Motherwell 4-0, Aberdeen and Dundee United drew 1-1 and Spartans beat Montrose 3-0.
