As It Happened

The best chance of the first half came just before half time when Shen Mengyu stole the ball before making her way into the box however her effort went narrowly past the left hand post.

Current holders Celtic took the lead in the 65th minute when a corner was played into the box which was met by Chloe Craig. Craig had an effort towards goal which fell to the feet of Natasha Flint who slotted the ball into the net from a few yards out.

Celtic doubled their lead a few minutes later thanks to another corner. Jacynta Galabadadaarachchi played a great ball into the box which met the head of Claire O’Riordan and the defender nodded home a looping header.

Rangers thought they had pulled one back the 83rd minute when Laura Berry received the ball in the box and slotted home however a VAR checked called the goal offside.

Following the 2-0 victory, Celtic were crowned the 2023 Scottish Cup champions and lifted the new trophy.
