We exited the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup at the semi-final stage, after an incident packed, but ultimately frustrating 120 minutes as we fell to a 3-2 defeat to Celtic after extra time at Hampden.
As was the case in midweek, City set the tempo early and created chances with Mebae Tanaka and Lisa Forrest going close. However, despite that dominance, Celtic would open the scoring as Saoirse Noonan headed home. A lead that would hold until half time.
Sofia Määttä was introduced after the break in place of Mebs with City returning to the dominant play that started the game.
Emily Whelan fired narrowly wide after cutting inside before Lisa Forrest was inches away from getting her foot on an Amy Muir cross. The pressure kept building, Natalia Wrobel next to threaten after a strong spell of interplay, but her effort drifted just wide.
Changes followed with Codie Thomas and Emily Gray replacing Lisa Evans and Natalia as the search for a leveller intensified.
A deserved City equaliser would come as Linda Motlhalo finished clinically to drive home from an Emma Brownlie knockdown and in the closing minutes both sides hunted for a late winner but the full-time whistle went with the scores still even.
Celtic took the lead again just one minute into extra time when Amy Gallacher drove home from the edge of the area before a breaking Lisa Forrest was thwarted by Adelaide Gay. A third, and decisive, Celtic goal came from Shannon McGregor just before half time of extra time.
In the final minute substitute Emily Gray pulled one back for City but it wouldn't be enough as attention now turns to the remaining three fixtures of our league campaign, starting with a trip to the capital next Sunday to face Hibernian.
