Glasgow City 3-0 Rangers Queen’s Park 1-2 Dundee United Hibernian 4-0 Motherwell Spartans 0-2 Hearts Partick Thistle 3-3 Montrose

Rangers’ first defeat of the league season was somewhat self-inflicted, with Wrobel taking full advantage of attempted clearances to put Glasgow City two up. She went on to complete her hat-trick 24 minutes after her opening goal, as City went two points clear of Rangers at the top.

Dundee United won for the first time, coming from behind for a 2-1 victory in the basement battle at managerless Queen’s Park. Ami Robertson’s opener was cancelled out by Morgan Steedman in the second half, before Freya Brien’s 75th-minute decider.

Montrose are the other side in the bottom three and they gained a good point in a 3-3 tie at Partick Thistle. Carla Boyce got a couple and Cara Henderson the Jags’ other goal, while Jade McLaren was at the double for the visitors and Demi Taylor later got their third.

Hibernian for 4-0 winners over Motherwell with one apiece for Eilidh Adams, Rosie Livingston, Kathleen McGovern and Siobhan Hunter.

Hearts picked up the points with two goals at Spartans, scored by Olufolasade Adamolekun three minutes in and in the latter stages.
