SPWPL Match Preview: Hearts v Glasgow City

SPWPL Match Preview: Hearts v Glasgow City

Fresh from a derby-day victory at The Peasy, the squad is back in action this weekend as we travel to Edinburgh to face Heart of Midlothian in the ScottishPower Women’s Premier League.

JOIN US AT AINSLIE PARK AND CHEER US ON IN THE CAPITAL!

Last time out

The sun was shining at The Peasy as Glasgow City secured three points after a commanding 4-1 ScottishPower Women's Premier League victory. Erin McLaughlin's first-half equaliser provided the platform before Linda Motlhalo, Lisa Forrest and debutant Yuuka Kurosaki all found the net in the second half.

Previous Meeting 

It was a trip to the capital for post-split action with both sides battling it out for three points. City withstood Hearts' early pressure and created the better chances through Abi Harrison, Emily Gray and Kimberley Smit. A competitive second half saw opportunities at both ends, but remained goalless as City earned a hard-fought point before facing Rangers in the last game of the 2025/26 season.
