Title: Rangers unbeaten in cups since 2023
Content: Glasgow City v Rangers (14:00)
Having won the SWPL for the first time in 2022, Rangers have missed out on the final day two seasons running, but they have become the dominant force in cup competitions.
They have won the League Cup three seasons in a row and are in their third Scottish Cup final in a row and seeking to hold on to the trophy they held aloft for the first time last season after being Hearts 2-0.
Indeed, they have not lost a domestic knock-out game since the Scottish Cup final defeat by Celtic in 2023 and hammered eventual league champions Hibs 5-0 in this season's SWPL Cup final.
Rangers lifted the Scottish Cup for the first time almost exactly a year ago

Title: City holding own
Content: Glasgow City v Rangers (14:00)
Considering they won it nine times between 2004 and 2019, City have been suffering a Scottish Cup drought.
Since then, Celtic, Heart of Midlothian, Hibs and Rangers have all formed professional squads, but winning their 16th league title in 2023 and finishing second this term suggests self-financed City are determined not to be pushed into the shade by teams subsidised by established men's outfits.
A 10th Scottish Cup triumph would underline that fact.

Title: Double swap for Rangers; City unchanged

Rangers head coach Jo Potter makes two changes to the side that fell short of claiming the SWPL title against Hibs.
Defender Kathryn Hill and winger Brogan Hay come into the starting XI, replacing the benched duo of defender Laura Rafferty and striker Rio Hardy.
City head coach Leanne Ross sticks with the starting line-up for their final SWPL win over Hearts.
Rangers' Brogan Hay, Mia McAulay, Jodi McLeary, and Kirsty MacLean take in the venue pre-match

Title: End of era for Scotland trio
Content: Glasgow City v Rangers (14:00)
Today marks the end of an era for three club legends.
At the age of 35, Rangers striker Jane Ross, who amassed 147 Scotland caps, is calling time on a career that has taken her from today's opponents to Vittsjo, Manchester City, West Ham United, Manchester United and now Ibrox.
While Ross starts on the bench, her 51-cap international team-mate Fiona Brown unfortunately misses out on a final outing for City.
At only 30, the forward who is in her second spell with Glasgow and also played for Celtic, Eskilstuna United and Rosengard, is hanging up her boots having struggled after a fourth ACL injury.
It might also be a last game for 39-year-old City captain Jo Love, the midfielder who is leaving the club this summer and will consider after today's final whether to continue a playing career that amassed 191 Scotland caps during spells with Kilmarnock, Cocoa Expos, Doncaster Belles, Celtic and now Glasgow. Love also stars on the bench.
Jane Ross is one of those retiring after today's game

Title: Consolation Cup?

My colleague, David Currie, described it as the Consolation Cup.
City and Rangers both had high hopes of being crowned league champions going into the final week of the Scottish Women's Premier League.
Instead, Hibernian surprised many with their first title in 18 years after beating Rangers on the final day.
City at least found some immediate solace in leapfrogging Rangers to clinch the second Champions League spot. Will they now also deny the Ibrox outfit a second Women's Scottish Cup and League Cup double in successive seasons?

Like yesterday's men's final, the four-seasons-in-one-day Scottish weather is being its unpredictable self again.
We've had pouring rain, raging winds and lovely sunshine already in Glasgow.

After the drama of yesterday's men's Scottish Cup final, it is the turn of Glasgow City and Rangers in the women's version.
Aberdeen caused a bit of a shock by beating holders and league champions Celtic on penalties at Hampden.
There are no strong favourites this time as nine-time winners City and holders Rangers renew their rivalry at the same venue today.
Stay with us for the build-up, live action and post-match reaction on TV, radio and online for what should be a tense, close climax to the season.
