Hearts can guarantee their first SWPL title by avoiding defeat at city rivals Hibernian on the final day of the season next Sunday.

Eva Olid's league leaders - who will take a two-point lead into the finale - missed the chance to be crowned champions at home on Sunday when they failed to beat Glasgow City.

A goalless draw at Oriam piled the pressure back on to second-place Rangers, who had to beat Celtic to force the league to a fourth consecutive final-day decider.

Leanne Crichton‘s side met the challenge with little fuss, strolling to a comfortable 4-0 win at home, securing Champions League football alongside Hearts in the process.

Though they now have a better goal difference than the leaders, the league’s first determination is head-to-head - Hearts have won three and drawn once this season with Rangers.

While Hearts face reigning champions Hibs, Rangers will host City.

Hearts knew victory over City in the capital in their penultimate game would secure glory a day after the men's team agonisingly missed out on a first top-flight title in 66 years.

But it looked like the weight of history on their shoulders affected Hearts as they were unable to play the free-flowing, attacking football that has propelled them into this position.

An incredibly cagey first half offered up little for either side, though both did go close after the break.

Lauren Wade's teasing free-kick was nearly stabbed in by the stretching Erin Husband, but the Hearts youngster just couldn't extend enough for contact.

Moments later, City substitute Lisa Forrest missed the target with a diving header from close range.

The hosts threw everything at the search for a late winner, but it was City who looked more threatening on the counter, with Emily Whelan calling Rachael Johnstone into a smart stop.
