'Dominant' Rangers could've had more v Hibs, says boss Potter
Rangers manager Jo Potter is delighted with her side's dominant performance in the SWPL Cup final. The Glasgow club picked up the trophy for the third year in a row with a convincing 5-0 victory over league leaders Hibs. Rangers headed into the game having not beaten Hibs this season, with a 3-0 defeat last time out fresh in their memory. Katie Wilkinson opened the scoring just before half-time and Potter's side went on to score four second half goals. "The scoreline and how we played made it so comfortable for us on the sidelines to enjoy and relax and drink it all in," the boss said. "I thought we could have had two or three more, the game could have been out of sight."The two quick goals after half-time really helped us and the goal before the interval too, timing was crucial to our goals."To have such a dominant performance, a clean sheet, and five goals is super important."Whenever we step on the pitch as Rangers we always feel the pressure because we know how much teams want to beat us and how much pressure we put on ourselves and from the fans, we're expected to win and be in these finals and it's not easy."We just need to be a bit more consistent in our performance and bringing that level week in, week out. We've got to if we want to be there and thereabouts at the end of the season and achieve our goals."
