Team News: Sky Sports Cup Final

Grant Scott makes just one change to his Hibernian Women starting XI ahead of Saturday’s Sky Sports Cup Final versus Rangers at Fir Park.

The one alteration from last weekend’s enthralling away league victory over Glasgow City occurs in goal.

Erin Clachers, who was ineligible to play against her parent club last weekend, dons the gloves and returns to the starting line-up. 

In defence, Linzi Taylor and Siobhan Hunter are flanked by wing-backs Lauren Doran-Barr and Stacey Papadopoulos. 

Stand-in skipper Kirsten Reilly, Michaela McAlonie and Ciara Grant hold down their positions in the middle of the park. 

Providing firepower up top; forwards Eilidh Adams, Kathleen McGovern and Tegan Bowie retain their places in the forward line. 

After keeping a clean sheet at Petershill Park last weekend, Noa Schumacher is the listed goalkeeper on the bench. 

Noa is accompanied on the bench by versatile defender Ellis Notley, winger Abbie Ferguson, striker Lia Tweedie, forward Rosie Livingstone, and last weekend’s game-winner Kirsty Morrison, as well as two Academy youngsters.

15-year-old pair Isla Taylor, who made her senior debut versus Queen’s Park last month, and Jessica Ramsay both make the matchday squad after continuing to impress.
