Will Hibs rue Edinburgh derby defeat if they don't clinch the title?
"They'll be kicking themselves."The Behind the Goals podcast can only be talking about Hibernian's derby defeat to then-league leaders shot into an early lead against their city rivals, but Eva Olid's Hearts dug deep and dished out just Hibs' third loss of the it's one which has seen them slip to second on goal difference, given Glasgow City's 24-goal seven games still to play, Grant Scott's side are far from hitting the panic button, but could this be the result they rue the most if they fail in their pursuit of the SWPL title?That's the fear for Scotland captain Rachel Corsie, anyway."In some ways, Hibs have done exceptionally well this season; they've shown they can compete, very much deserve to be where they are," said Corsie on the Behind the Goals podcast."It just feels like every time you think they get a good result, put themselves in that sort of one foot up, they then just don't back it up, and I feel for them to lose against Hearts, that's a real disappointing result."If it gets to the end of the season, you look back and you think, where are the points lost that you would look at and say, 'wow, that now is really disappointing'."I do feel like that game will be one that's in there and not because I'm discrediting Hearts, and I know it's been a competitive fixture season, and both teams have a lot of positivity you can put on both of those clubs at the the defeat, co-host and Glasgow City assistant Leanne Crichton still thinks there's "a long way to go," with seven games still left to play in the league."It's a sore one, it absolutely is. They'll be kicking themselves, but there's still such a long way to go," added Crichton."To lose that game and still be effectively joint top of the table on points, the situation could be a lot worse than what it is."I don't think it will be overkill this week in terms of it being a negative response or Hibs being too disappointed because it's like us as well at the top, just now it feels like you've got an element of control over what can happen."I think every split fixture now, with the seven games remaining, you go back into Wednesday, there's going to be no surprise if we're sitting here next week after the Wednesday, Sunday fixtures, and the league table looks completely different again."

Scotland will be boosted by 'best ever' version of Cuthbert, says Corsie
"I'm not even going to say maybe, it was without doubt the best football I've seen her play."That's just how well Scotland captain Rachel Corsie thinks midfielder Erin Cuthbert is currently host Germany in the first of a Nations League A double-header on Friday and will be bolstered by the returning Cuthbert, who missed their opening matches against Austria and Netherlands in February because of a rib problem. Both games ended in defeat for interim head coach Michael has been in fine form for WSL leaders Chelsea and helped them overturn a two-goal first-leg deficit to knock out Manchester City in the Women's Champions League quarter-finals last week."It's a boost with Erin back. I just saw her play the first 45 minutes at the weekend, and I was at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night," Corsie, who remains sidelined through injury, told the Behind the Goals podcast."I'm not even going to say maybe, it was without doubt best football I've seen her play. It's the efficiency of what she does, it's so effective."And she's sort of buzzing about, I know that she's feeling good; she knows that she's in a good bit of form, and she's enjoying it."Third in the Fifa rankings, Germany visit Tannadice on Friday night before the teams meet again in Wolfsburg four days later."We'll spend large parts of the game, I would think, against Germany under pressure," Corsie added."We've been in those games before, we've had a lot of games like that where we've shown we can compete and be really difficult to break down, so I would expect us to have to try and be really diligent and disciplined in that area of pitch."Former Scotland midfielder Leanne Crichton echoed Corsie's sentiment that it will be a night of hard graft out of possession, saying: "They'll need to be comfortable without the ball, that's the reality against the Germans."With the first leg on Scottish soil, though, the sidelined skipper does see some reason to be said: "It's an advantage to be at home. I think that home game probably comes [with] a little extra optimism from my perspective because I just think, can we really try and push and get something out of that? "I feel optimistic, I do."
