Holders Rangers beat Montrose to set up Old Firm final

Holders Rangers made it to their fourth consecutive Women's Scottish Cup final - where they will face rivals Celtic - after a 2-0 victory over brave Montrose at Hampden.

Following an even first half in which huge underdogs Montrose repeatedly frustrated the favourites but failed to create any clear chances, Rangers eventually went ahead in the 51st minute.

Katie Wilkinson, the top scorer in Scotland this season, came on at half-time and her impact was immediately felt as she nodded in a Jodi McLeary corner.

The striker was part of a triple change that included the removal of midfielder Quinty Sabajo, who was lucky to still be on the pitch after two strong challenges in the first half, which only resulted in a yellow card.

Craig Feroz's side continued to impress, but could not turn their pressure into opportunities, with the best sight of goal coming when Demi Taylor struck from distance. It was easily saved by Rangers goalkeeper Jenna Fife.

Leanne Crichton's side did their best to force a goal that would kill off any Montrose hopes.

Calliste Brookshire clipped the crossbar before Wilikson added some gloss to the scoreline with a penalty in the last seconds after Montrose substitute Erin Henderson clattered into the back of Laura Berry.

Rangers have lifted the trophy for the past two seasons, beating Glasgow City and Hearts in 2025 and 2024 respectively.

They will now look to make it three in a row with victory over Old Firm rivals Celtic at Hampden on 31 May.
