Hearts visit Hibernian with a two-point lead over Rangers, who travel to Glasgow City in the final SWPL round. Eva Olid, set to leave Hearts this summer, said her side expected to be “better on the ball” after a 0-0 draw with Glasgow City, noting nerves affected possession. She emphasized learning to manage emotions, staying together, and focusing on attacking great chances rather than defending. Leanne Crichton, in her debut season as Rangers head coach, told her players the message is simply to win. Rangers have already secured European football, and the title outcome could hinge on head-to-head results if points finish level.
"“There are emotions, nerves, everything,” she explained. “You could see some players were nervous. That didn't help in possession. “We were so good in the last weeks. It's normal. We need to learn to live that out and just focus in the game. We are good on the ball, it is our strong point. “We don't want to be defending, we want to be attacking great chances. “We want to do the job. Just be together. It's good we are together until the end.”"
"“Win the game.” “That for me should open up an enjoyment factor because there is nothing else that the players need to worry about other than winning game,” Crichton explained. “We are totally comfortable with the situation in the sense that we have got European football secured. “It is brilliant for a group that is as young as we have been this season with the turnover in terms of the last 12 months and what that has looked like.”"
"“The reality is we have taken one point from 12 ag”"
