Glasgow City see off Rangers and Celtic SWFL title challenge to make it 14 in a row

Glasgow City have claimed their 14th consecutive Scottish Women's Premier League title on a dramatic last day of the season.

The battle for the title went right until the end of the season and any slip-up from Scott Booth's side would have opened the door for Celtic.

The Hoops had to win their game by six clear goals and hope their Glasgow rivals would win in Cumbernauld.

Goals from Hayley Lauder and Niamh Farrelly were enough for the champions to see off Rangers at Broadwood Stadium to claim another trophy.

Despite an 8-0 demolition of Motherwell, Fran Alonso's side had to settle for second spot.

However, they were able to claim their own piece of history as the Parkhead Women earned Champions League football for the first time.

Defeat means that Rangers finish third in the table despite a late-season surge for the title, losing just one of their last five fixtures.

The loss proved to be costly as it came against the eventual champions City.
