Celtic remain favourites for the SWPL title after playing out a goalless draw with rivals Rangers at Broadwood.
Both sides sit level on points at the top of the table but with a goal difference of 13, the Hoops have the edge.
It was Rangers who started the stronger of the two sides from the kick off, with Jo Potter’s team coming quickly out of the traps.
A series of misplaced passes from Celtic allowed the home team to dominate the play early on, much to the irritation of Elena Sadiku on the touchline.
On the 17th minute a half hearted appeal for a Rangers penalty was waved away, after a challenge in the box from Caitlin Hayes on Rio Hardy.
Rangers then came closest to scoring just two minutes later when Light Blues skipper Nicola Docherty’s 20 yard strike crashed back off of the crossbar.
On the 31st minute Celtic had their best opportunity of the opening 45. Tasha Flint was through on goal after a brilliant pass from Murphy Agnew, only for the Hoops striker to drag the shot wide. The first half ended goalless at Broadwood.
After the restart Celtic came close to opening the scoring with another huge chance for Tasha Flint, but her 56th minute strike was palmed round the post by Rangers keeper Vic Esson.
On the 60th minute it was Rangers’ turn to threaten Celtic’s goal with a looping header from Tess Middag that just skimmed the bar and landed on top of the Celtic net.
Mia McAuley almost snatched it for Rangers on the 90th minute with a long range effort that cannoned back off of the bar.
With three games remaining, it remains to be seen if Celtic can hold onto their advantage and pick up their first ever League title.
