Celtic beat Rangers to claim Women's Scottish Cup

Celtic 2-0 Rangers: Fran Alonso's side win Women's Scottish Cup

Celtic bounced back from league title heartbreak to claim the Women's Scottish Cup for the second straight year after a comfortable victory over rivals Rangers at Hampden.

That stunned Rangers, who had Laura Berry's goal five minutes from time ruled out for offside by the video assistant referee , and means Celtic end the season with a trophy having missed out on the Scottish Women's Premier League title a week ago in dramatic fashion.On that occasion Glasgow City's added-time strike against Rangers snatched the title from Celtic's grasp and left manager Fran Alonso in tears.

First, a corner was put on top of Rangers goalkeeper Victoria Esson, who could only punch it as far as Chloe Craig. The Celtic defender helped the ball goalward and Flint did the rest from inside the six-yard box. But VAR, in use for the first time in a women's domestic game in Scotland, had a look and ruled the 15-year-old was marginally offside.

They finally made their dominance pay in typical style, with two excellent Jacynta corners setting up the goals. As for Rangers, this ended an ultimately disappointing campaign. They finished third in the league and will not play in the Champions League next season, having claimed the SWPL title last year.
