Team News: Motherwell (H)

There are multiple changes to the Hibs Women XI that took on, and defeated, Rangers last time out. 

Kathleen McGovern and Stacey Papadopoulos scored the goals as the girls earned all three points at Meadowbank two weekends ago to reclaim their spot at the top of the table.

The Hibees’ fifth-last 2024/25 ScottishPower Women’s Premier League fixture sees Motherwell visit EH7 on Wednesday evening, with Head Coach Grant Scott opting to make three alterations to his side. 

The first change sees Club vice-captain Ellis Notley return to the starting line-up and reclaim the captain’s armband in the process. 

Young forward Rosie Livingstone is the second incomer, while fellow attacker Kirsty Morrison rounds out the changes into the XI. 

Making way for the trio is versatile defender Linzi Taylor, holding midfielder Ciara Grant and centre-forward Eilidh Adams, who are all listed as substitutes.

Joining them on the bench are Academy prospects Isla Taylor and Jess Ramsay – the latter being fresh off the back of Scotland Under-16 duty – as well as 16-year-old goalkeeper Rowena Armitage, who signed her first professional contract with the Club last week.
