Scottish Women’s Premier League post-split fixtures: Rangers host Celtic, Glasgow City visit Hibs in title race | Football News

Defending champions Rangers will host second-place Celtic in the first round of matches following the Scottish Women’s Premier League split, while leaders Glasgow City visit Hibernian.

Third-place Rangers are a point behind Celtic, who in turn trail City by six points with 10 matches of the season to go.

At the other end, Hamilton Accies take on Motherwell in a bid to move out of the relegation play-off spot while Aberdeen – who are just two points clear of 10th – visit bottom club Glasgow Women.

Elsewhere, on the weekend of March 25, Partick Thistle welcome Hearts and Dundee United take on Spartans.

Following a full card on April 2, another two huge games take place on April 16 as Glasgow City host Celtic in a potentially pivotal tie in the title race, while Hamilton Accies head to Aberdeen as both clubs bid to move clear of the relegation play-off spot.

‘One of the most compelling and competitive seasons’

With the title at stake, Women’s Champions League spots up for grabs and the battle to avoid the relegation play-off spot finely poised, SWPL managing director Fiona McIntyre said: “The 2022/23 season has already proved to be one of the most compelling and competitive in the history of the SWPL.

“The split adds an exciting new dynamic and one which has been well received by all stakeholders in the women’s game.

“Today, we are delighted to confirm the schedule for the remainder the season. Every fixture over the next two months will contribute towards the race for the title or battle to avoid relegation and we can expect plenty of drama as we reach the conclusion of the inaugural season under this new format.

“We look forward to welcoming fans along to enjoy what we anticipate will be a fantastic finale with the title, European qualification, and avoiding relegation all being played for.”
