Hibernian Ladies beat Rangers 4-1 at Albyn Park on Sunday thanks to goals from Abi Harrison (2), Lia Tweedie and Lizzie Arnot.

After the game Hibs’ manager Chris Roberts told the club website: “I’m very pleased with the performance and result.We knew Rangers would be hurting after a heavy defeat from Celtic last week.

“Playing them is always difficult and even more so when they have a point to prove.

“We started brightly and we really should’ve put the game to bed inside the first 20 minutes but we only had Lia’s goal to show for our efforts.

“We knew what Chelsea could do from a dead ball so it was no surprise when she scored to equalise for Rangers.

“They were well organised, built from the back, were strong defensively and tried to spoil it.  They tried to make it difficult for us and they certainly did for a period.

“In the second half we were good and this time took our chances to run out deserving winners.

“It wasn’t out prettiest performance of the season but it is another three points and it maintains our unbeaten record.”

Hibernian Ladies: Fife, Williamson, Brownlie, Hunter, Arnot, Smith, Robertson, Cornet, Arthur, Arnot, Tweedie, Richards. Substitutes: Michie, Harrison, Johnstone.
