Rangers and Hearts both recorded impressive derby wins in the Scottish Women’s Premier League at the weekend.

There was a full card in the top-flight on Sunday with the Glasgow and Edinburgh derbies taking top billing.

Leanne Crichton’s Gers side jumped to the top of the table with a 2-0 win over Celtic in Hamilton.

Second-half goals from Mia McAulay and Eilidh Austin were enough to secure the three points that put them ahead of the Hoops after four games.

Last season’s champions Hibernian also lost by two goals to nil at the home of the capital rivals Hearts.

Georgia Timms scored a penalty with 20 minutes remaining before Jessica Husbands sealed the win at Tynecastle Park.

Glasgow City kept up their 100% winning start to the season as they eased to a 5-0 victory over Montrose at Petershill.

Goals from Abi Harrison and Lana Golob put the home side two goals up at half-time before Erin McLaughlin, Mebae Tanaka, and Lisa Forrest completed the rout.

Meanwhile, Motherwell beat Hamilton 4-1 and Aberdeen drew 1-1 with Partick Thistle.
