In the Women's Scottish Cup semifinal at Hampden, Jane Ross scored a hat-trick as holders Rangers defeated Aberdeen 5-0, securing a final meeting with Glasgow City on 25 May. The game began with Rangers dominating play, and Mia McAulay set up Ross for the opening goal after nine minutes. Aberdeen's Kerry Beattie had a chance to equalize, but 15-year-old May Cruft made a crucial tackle. Rio Hardy and Lizzie Arnot also found the back of the net. Despite Aberdeen's valiant effort to defend, Rangers persisted and scored three more goals in the second half, with Ross completing her hat-trick and Arnot scoring a goal as well. Aberdeen showed resilience in their first Hampden appearance, and they will aim to maintain their top-flight status. Rangers, who are chasing a domestic treble, trail SWPL leaders Hibernian by two points and are one point ahead of City, their upcoming opponents in a SWPL encounter live on BBC Alba, iPlayer, and the BBC Sport website and app.
