If City manage to come out sharp in the second half and get a goal back, it's game on. But, if Rangers get one more then it will be out of sight. HT: Glasgow City 0-2 Rangers Emma Black Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound I think Leanne Ross has got to change it. You've got options on the Glasgow City bench, you've got Lisa Forrest, who's a willing runner, you've got Emily Whelan who's a willing runner. They're losing the game in the middle of the pitch. Katie Lockwood would be her best bet, to bring her on in the number 10 role. She gives you that willing runner. She wants to break the lines. Rangers are the ones celebrating at half time HT: Glasgow City 0-2 Rangers Martin Dowden BBC Sport Scotland at Hampden All credit to Rangers. You can see their determination to win this. They've scored good goals, exploited clear weakness in City's defence and ought to be further ahead. Yes, City have struck the bar, but when you add on Rangers hitting the post and bar in that first half, they could be out of sight. That said, it's not over, just yet. Goals from Mia Mc Auley and Kirsty Howat have Rangers will on their way to retaining the Women's Scottish Cup. City have much to ponder at the break as they contemplate a rare season without silverware. Kirsty Howat scored Rangers' second goal Glasgow City 0-2 Rangers So close to one back for City. Samantha van Diemen rises to meet a corner. Claire Walsh looks poised to finish off her fellow defender's header, but Rangers striker Katie Wilkinson makes a desperate clearance. Glasgow City 0-2 Rangers Four minutes of stoppage time. City boss Leanne Ross will be itching to have a go at her side and see if she can make a few changes - both to her side and their fortunes. Glasgow City 0-2 Rangers Stephen Craigan Former NI & Motherwell defender on Sportsound It's a huge save by Lee Gibson. That's the cup away from you if you don't save that there. Glasgow City 0-2 Rangers That could have been curtains for City. Mia Mc Auley looks certain to score her second as the midfielder finds herself behind the rocky defence, but goalkeeper Lee Gibson puts out a strong hand to save. City are quickly up the other end and Jenna Fife this time is forced into a less spectacular save. Glasgow City 0-2 Rangers Gemma Fay Former Scotland goalkeeper on BBC One Scotland You have to say, it is a fantastic finish. What a statement from the side that went into last weekend with a treble [achievable] and left the weekend with no Champions League football. Absolutely fantastic from Kirsty Howat, into the Scotland squad with the new manager here watching on. Rangers take control of the final. Rangers' Kirsty Howat celebrates scoring to make it 2-0 Glasgow City 0-2 Rangers Amy Canavan BBC Scotland at Hampden Park Sam Van Diemen didn't know what day of the week it was, there. Outstanding from Kirsty Howat. Kirsty Howat Some finish! Kirsty Howat might have been slightly offside there, but she picks the ball up with her back to goal from striker partner Katie Wilkinson. She turns Samantha van Diemen inside out and fires low past goalkeeper Lee Gibson. Glasgow City 0-1 Rangers City have a chance to respond from a corner. The ball is bouncing around the penalty box and a couple of Rangers bodies are put on the line to prevent a shot on target. Worryingly for City, striker Brenna Lovera is left hobbling with a leg knock. Glasgow City 0-1 Rangers Gemma Fay Former Scotland goalkeeper on BBC One Scotland Rangers seem to be one or two steps sharper than City, perhaps, when they lose the ball they are quick to respond. It's not just one players either, the next one responds, and the next. They want to be on the ball, controlling the game. It's night and day compared to the Rangers side I saw last week. Glasgow City 0-1 Rangers Martin Dowden BBC Sport Scotland at Hampden Jo Potter conceded how hard this week had been after losing the league at home to Hibs. She hasn't moved from the edge of her technical area but looks far happier now given the way this is unfolding. It was a fine finish from Mia Mc Aulay and a deserved lead. All the negativity seems to have lifted and they are firmly in control right now. Glasgow City 0-1 Rangers Nicola Docherty finally succombs to that early head knock. Northern Ireland defender Laura Rafferty is on in the Rangers captain's place. Glasgow City 0-0 Rangers Stephen Craigan Former NI & Motherwell defender on Sportsound She goes for power. On the balance of play, Rangers deserve to be leading. Rangers' Mia Mc Aulay opened the scoring Glasgow City 0-1 Rangers Emma Black Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound It's a terrific strike from Mia Mc Aulay. It all comes from Glasgow City trying to come forward. It just opens up for Mia Mc Aulay, but she took it well. Took it early also. Mia Mc Aulay Cracker! It has been coming. Samantha van Diemen takes the ball for a walk out of the City defence. But, when the centre-half's pass forward is cut out, Rangers mount a devastating counter-attack and midfielder Mia Mc Aulay fires low into the far corner. Glasgow City 0-0 Rangers Stephen Craigan Former NI & Motherwell defender on Sportsound In the opening 15, 16 minutes, Rangers have settled better. They're looking more comfortable in their shape. Glasgow City are struggling to get any real rhythm. Glasgow City's Kimberley Smit challenges Rangers' Mia Mc Aulay Glasgow City 0-0 Rangers Rangers' high press has had City on the back foot. However, they break free and it is Glasgow's turn to be denied by the crossbar. Natalia Wrobel finds space on the edge of the penalty box and the midfielder's powerful drive is close to the opener.
