Watch the best of Rangers and Celtic before their Scottish Women's Cup semi-final at Hampden on Saturday.
Based on our squad, we are very good at defending. We are very difficult to break down so we have the easy part to try and achieve on Sunday in that if we defend well, we’ll make life difficult for Hearts and stop them from scoring. "So I think it'll be down to who's the braver team on the day, who can handle the crowd, the stage, and who wants to implement their game on the opposition."The Rangers captain has been delighted by the growth in the SWPL and the rivalry with Celtic."I think in Scotland you can even speak from when I was a player back in the day, the league has grown so much, so these derby games are becoming even bigger," the defender said.
"I had to take a bit over a year out so I think I'm getting that back with the year extension and hopefully I can achieve what I wanted to achieve in that year. She can't wait to make her first Scottish Cup appearance of the campaign in Sunday's semi-final against Spartans at Hampden. The holders are unbeaten in 11 matches, winning 10 including a 2-1 league victory over Rangers last month."I trust my players and I think that hopefully that they feel that I do.
"I've got to give myself some time. But you know, when you come into a club at Rangers, you're expected to win. The squad always try to be as successful as possible, and come to training every day to train well and “get the best ending possible”. With one trophy already in the bag for Rangers, the prospect of getting to another cup final is “special” and would be "huge for me”.
She believes mentality and dealing with a big occasion will be key, adding that "making the right decisions in the moments and problem solving” is the difference between good and very good players.Spartans defender Robyn McCafferty says they will use their status as the only part-time team left in the Scottish Cup as motivation in their bid to upset Hearts in Sunday's semi-final.
"For that we need to be so strong mentally. Normally the favourites are the other team and suddenly we are in a situation that we start being the favourites. We are not used to that. "Then in the wider context, if we were to get down to the final two at Hampden it would be an incredible achievement."Hearts manager Eva Olid has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Scottish Cup semi-final against fellow Edinburgh side Spartans.Olid says the most important thing for her players is that they enjoy themselves in Sunday's match.
He insists the team have to do everything they can on the pitch, he knows they'll enjoy it more if they feel they've given their all regardless of the result. "As we enter the business end of the season, with only five SWPL games to go, your commitment to the team will be as important as ever. "For us to get into the top six, what do we then have to do to be able to close the gap? For me the league is kind of split into three different sections now. That is mainly based on resources and finances and investment.
Rangers have already won the SWPL Cup and are chasing a treble, but lost their long hold on top spot in the table last week with defeat by Hearts, allowing Celtic to go two points clear.
