The Scottish Women's Premier League enters its crucial split phase this weekend, with Rangers travelling to Hearts on Sunday in the first of 10 matches that will determine the 2024 season champion.

Glasgow City currently leads the table with a five-point advantage over their nearest competitors. Rangers and Celtic are tied for second and third place respectively, sitting one point ahead of fourth-place Hearts.

Rangers centre-back Jess Pegram expressed confidence in her team's championship aspirations, noting the club's determination to close the gap with league leaders Glasgow City. The two sides are scheduled to meet on the final day of the season in what could prove to be a decisive encounter.

The split format divides the league into two sections after teams have played each other twice. The top four teams compete for the championship, while the remaining clubs play to avoid relegation. Each team will play an additional 10 matches through May when the trophy will be awarded.

The tight competition at the top of the table sets up an engaging finish to the Scottish women's football season, with multiple teams still mathematically capable of claiming the title depending on results in the coming weeks.
