The hosts - and reigning champions - grabbed both goals in the second half following an evenly contested opening 45 minutes.

Georgia Timms came closest to breaking the deadlock in the first half for the Jambos, the English striker seeing her effort come back off the post. At the other end goalkeeper Charlotte Parker-Smith was alert to the opportunities that fell the home side's way.

But Rangers upped the tempo in the second half and the breakthrough arrived in the 58th minute when striker Kirsty Howat found the bottom corner.

The hosts made sure of the three points as Lizzie Arnot swung in a corner and Sam Kerr was on hand to divert the ball beyond Parker-Smith.
