Hibs ladies have eyes on cup double
The Easter Road girls are the current holders of the trophy and are hoping to add more silverware to compliment the Premier League Cup that they won earlier this season.
Glasgow City, however, will be formidable opponents for Hibs and they completed their league campaign undefeated after winning all twenty of their fixtures. The Scottish Champions also reached the last 16 of the UEFA Women’s Champions League and can boast of a side full of internationalists.
