How to watch Rangers and Hibs Women: Live stream, TV channel and team news for SWPL title showdown
The Scottish Women's Premie League is the envy of Europe this weekend as the title race goes down to the wire.
While the men's Premiership winner was decided weeks ago - Rangers and Hibs Women head into a straight shootout at Ibrox on Sunday.
The Edinburgh league leaders need only a point to secure their first title for 18 years.
But a Rangers victory in front of their own fans will land them the title given their vastly superior goal difference.
They will be boosted by the fact they thumped Hibs 5-0 in the Sky Sports Cup final in March.
Glasgow City are out of the race - they can go level on points, but Gers boast a better goal difference by 26 goals.
There were no signs of any nerves as Hibs thumped champions Celtic with a 4-2 win at Meadowbank last night.
Goals from Ciara Grant and a brace from the Kathleen McGovern had them 3-0 up after just 25 minutes.
Saoirse Noonan pulled one back before the break.
But Eilidh Adams added Hibs' fourth before a late consolation from Bruna Lourenco.
Celtic are now 15 points off the league leaders after Potter's Gers side beat Hearts 5-3.
They were leading 5-1 before allowing their concentration to slip in the latter stages.
Gers found themselves in the same position two seasons back when they hosted City on the final day, with the Petershill side nicking the title with almost the very last kick of the ball.
City dumped Motherwell 2-1, with Brenna Lovera netting a late penalty to give them all three points.
Leanne Ross' side will now turn their full attention to next weekend's Scottish Cup final — when they play Rangers at Hampden — as they look to end the season with silverware.
When is Rangers vs Hibs Women?
The game takes place at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow on Sunday May 18. Kick-off is at 12pm.
What channel is the game on?
The game will be shown live on Sky Sports Football with coverage starting at 11.30pm.
Is there a live stream of the game?
Yes there is. Viewers can watch the match via the Sky Go or NOW TV apps via their TV, tablet or smartphone.
Referee
The man in the middle will be Daniel Graves who will be assisted by Cameron Telfer and James McCluskey. The fourth official will be Jamie Wilkie.
What are the managers saying?
Rangers boss Jo Potter said: "We've been put in a position where the pressure's really on, but it's a position we'd have paid for a week ago. We get great support home and away no matter where we go, but I'd really love to see the fans turn up for this one."
Hibs manager Grant Scott said: "We've done our jobs and taken it to the last game, which is an unbelievable achievement already. We didn't think we'd be here at this moment, but the harsh reality is that we've got a lot of work to do yet because we face a formidable opponent."

Jimmy Thelin leaves Kevin Nisbet to Aberdeen transfer door open
The Scotland international appears to be out of the first-team plans at Millwall after a successful loan at Pittodrie last term Jimmy Thelin has refused to rule out a possible move to bring Kevin Nisbet back to Aberdeen. The Scotland international had a successful loan spell at Pittodrie last season, where he helped the Dons to lift the Scottish Cup. Nisbet is just coming back from injury and hasn't been involved at Millwall, while Aberdeen need to add Scottish players for their European campaign. Thelin, when asked if he could move for Nisbet, answered: 'The window is the window. 'The way we are working, there can be changes in and out. We have to think about Aberdeen Football Club in the first way then think about individuals and getting game time. 'We will see if we can find something more that can strengthen us. 'If that's the case they maybe, we'll see.' The Dons have only been able to name a 20 man squad for their Europa League play-off clash with FCSB because they don't meet the homegrown or academy-trained criteria. Thelin has targeted Scottish players. His problem is that the likes of Lyall Cameron and Josh Mulligan have moved elsewhere. He confirmed: 'The competition is quite strong about some players we looked at and had talks with, yes. 'But let's see how the future looks. That's an overall plan we have and we're trying to work on that every season, so let's see in the future what's going to happen. 'I think you will see, I believe, in the next coming years some more from our academy and more recruitment from young Scottish players to build a strong core. 'It has to be the right ones and the right timing to get the game time they need.' Aberdeen are guaranteed group stage football but Thelin wants it to be in the Europa League rather than the Conference League. He stated: 'People can talk about a safety net but we don't think like that, we want to be in this competition. 'If we can get there, we'll have deserved it because we will have proved ourselves getting to that level. 'As a football manager, a club or a player you always want to compete against the best you can. 'That's how you grow, how do you cope with the pressure and use your squad? 'You always want to be the best version of yourself, so getting to the Europa League would be a good experience for everyone. 'We have pushed hard to prepare for these games, to be ready for it and now we are looking forward to these games. 'It wasn't long ago that Aberdeen was in the Conference League, now we want to be in the Europa League. 'That is part of this team growing, we want to use this to get better and better.'

Aberdeen boss Jimmy Thelin refuses to rule out stunning Dons return for Scottish Cup hero
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JIMMY THELIN has refused to rule out a move to bring Scottish Cup hero Kevin Nisbet back to Aberdeen. The Pittodrie boss still needs one more striker despite the capture of Marko Lazetic from AC Milan earlier this week. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Kevin Nisbet was a Scottish Cup winner with Aberdeen Credit: Kenny Ramsay 2 Jimmy Thelin hasn't ruled out bringing him back Credit: PA Thelin, whose side play Romanians FCSB in the Europa League play-offs, is short of Scottish players in his squad so can't meet the quota without drafting in untested kids. Nisbet scored 14 goals during a loan from Millwall last season and started in their Scottish Cup final win over Celtic. Aberdeen can't afford to pay the wages it would take to bring him back to Pittodrie permanently, but could make another temporary pitch before next week's deadline. Asked whether Nisbet is an option, Thelin said: 'The window is the window. 'The way we are working, there can be changes in and out. 'We have to think about Aberdeen Football Club in the first way then think about individuals and getting game time. 'We will see if we can find something more that can strengthen us.' Nizzy is the ONLY Scot Thelin has signed during the three windows he's had as Dons boss. And after missing out on Dundee pair Josh Mulligan and Lyall Cameron this summer, the Swede admits it's tough attracting home-based players. He said: 'The competition is quite strong about some players we looked at and had talks with, yes. Eric Black on losing love for football & the ex-Celtic star who's the best he's ever seen 'But let's see how the future looks. 'That's an overall plan we have and we're trying to work on that every season, so let's see in the future what's going to happen. 'I think you will see, I believe, in the next coming years some more from our academy and more recruitment of young Scottish players to build a strong core. 'It has to be the right ones and the right timing to get the game time they need.' Thelin will make a late decision over whether to name Shayden Morris in his squad after he picked up a leg knock. He will be absent tonight but could make the second leg in Bucharest so may still be listed with Uefa. Thelin said: 'Shayden has a knock on his leg, that's the only reason, nothing else. 'We have to plan for the two games, Thursday's game is only the first half and the second half is next week. 'So we have to balance the squad in the best way to get through.' Aberdeen are guaranteed Conference League football even if they lose this tie but Thelin shot down claims tonight is a free hit. He said: 'We have to remember we are in the play-off for the Europa League. 'People can talk about a safety net but we don't think like that, we want to be in this competition. 'If we can get there, we'll have deserved it because we will have proved ourselves getting to that level. 'You always want to be the best version of yourself, so getting to the Europa League would be a good experience for everyone.'

Celtic v Kairat: Rodgers names starting team for Champions League play-off
Brendan Rodgers has named his starting line-up as Celtic prepare to take on Kairat in the first leg of their Champions League play-off. The Kazakh side are in Glasgow to take on the Hoops for a place in Europe's top competition. Celtic have started the season well with three wins from their opening games of the campaign. The Scottish champions have defeated St Mirren and Aberdeen in the Premiership and Falkirk in the League Cup, scoring seven goals and only conceding one in the process. However, Kairat will represent their biggest test yet and they will be wanting a healthy lead to take to the away leg which will see them travel further east than Afghanistan. In addition to the prestige of Champions League football, they will earn around £50m if they reach the lucrative eight-game league phase of the tournament. Celtic got past the league phase last season as they reached the knockout phase of the competition for the first time in 12 years. And they will be aiming to reach at least as far again this campaign, but first they will have to get past Kairat, and a good home performance could be vital to their chances. Rodgers has started with Kasper Schmiechel in goals behind a back four of Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales, and Kieran Tierney. Captain Callum McGregor anchors a three-man midfield alongside Reo Hatate and Benjamin Nygren with James Forrest and Daizen Maeda either side of Adam Idah up front.
