Where It All Began

In the first round, eight SPWPL 2 teams joined the competition. Livingston advanced with a 4-0 win over East Fife, and St Johnstone beat the University of Stirling 5-2. Gartcairn scored an extra-time winner against Boroughmuir Thistle, while Kilmarnock edged Dundee United 8-7 on penalties.

The second round brought top-flight clubs into the mix, producing 52 goals across eight matches.

  • Rangers dominated St Johnstone 12-0.
  • Partick Thistle thrashed Livingston 7-0.
  • Hibernian crushed Motherwell 9-0.
  • Hearts beat Montrose 7-0.
  • Aberdeen defeated Kilmarnock 3-1.
  • Celtic overcame Spartans 3-1.
  • Glasgow City won 5-0 at Hamilton.
  • Queen’s Park beat Gartcairn 3-1.

In the quarter-finals, Queen’s Park’s run ended with a 9-1 loss to Celtic. Hibernian edged Hearts 3-2 in an all-Edinburgh clash. Glasgow City beat Aberdeen 2-0, and Rangers defeated Partick Thistle 3-0 in a rematch of the 2023/24 final.

Drama in the Semi-Finals

Hibernian hosted Glasgow City at Meadowbank Stadium. Nicole Kozlova scored just before halftime, and Chloe Warrington made it 2-0. Kirsten Reilly pulled one back for Hibs, but Glasgow City advanced.

Rangers faced Celtic for the third straight semi-final. Maria McAneny gave Celtic the lead, Katie Wilkinson equalized from the penalty spot, Emma Lawton restored the advantage, and Poppy Pritchard doubled it from the spot. Laura Berry scored late in each half to force extra time. Rangers goalkeeper Jenna Fife saved Saoirse Noonan’s penalty and two more in the shootout, securing a fourth consecutive final.

This could be the tightest Sky Sports Cup final yet. Rangers seek a record-equaling fourth straight win, while Glasgow City, with just one domestic loss this season (to Rangers), aim for a record-equaling seventh title.

League meetings this season have been intense: Glasgow City’s late Nicole Kozlova winner in September, Rangers’ late Calliste Brookshire equalizer in January, and Katie Wilkinson’s penalty securing a 1-0 Rangers win last weekend.

The 2025/26 Sky Sports Cup has delivered memorable moments, and the final promises more history at Fir Park on Sunday. For the latest Resultados Futbol Hoy, visit Resultados Futbol Hoy.
