A round-up from the Scottish Women's Premier League as Rangers remain top, closely followed by Celtic and Glasgow City, while Hearts and Hibernian also win heading into the international break.

Leaders Rangers were the biggest winners over the weekend as they made it three wins in a week by thrashing Montrose at Links Park.

After dealing with a dangerous Demi Taylor delivery within the opening 60 seconds, Rangers began to take control of the game but were kept out by Lauren Perry and the woodwork early on.

However, the opener came just before the half-hour mark as Megan Bell — on her first league start this season — linked up with Rio Hardy before firing into the top corner.

Mia McAulay — also back in the starting line-up — got the second after good work from Kirsty Maclean who picked the ball up in her own half before finding the winger who slid home.

Rangers had a third before half-time as Kirsty Howat's shot fell to Hardy who got in on the act as the visitors took control.

Nine goals followed after the break with deadline day signing Libby Bance getting the first of them, having come on as a second-half substitute.
