Holders Glasgow City, Rangers and Hibernian joined Hearts in the SWPL Cup semi-final draw with Sunday wins.

Emily Whelan struck from close range to give City the lead against Celtic, converting Lisa Evans' teasing cut-back from the right.

Ruby Seaby fired against the post for Glasgow and Emily Gray sealed the win by knocking in the hosts' second late on.

At Broadwood, Calliste Brookshire's corner hit the Partick Thistle bar before May Cruft put Rangers in front. Katie Wilkinson's free-kick doubled the advantage for last season's beaten finalists.

Wilkinson added another following the break - her 100th Rangers goal.

Motherwell took a first-half lead at home to Hibs through Lucy Sinclair. Scarlett Herron levelled in the second period and Libby Smith struck high to give the visitors victory.

On Friday, Hearts were the first side through to the last four with a comfortable 5-0 win away to Boroughmuir Thistle.

Mariana Speickmaier opened and completed the scoring with Lauren Wade netting Hearts' second and fourth goals. Erin Rennie notched their third.

Shu Ohba (Rangers): Back in the starting 11 after her Asian Cup success with Japan, and looked sharp. Although she conceded two goals - one when her side were a player down - she made a couple of vital saves towards the end Hibs were pressing.

Erin Ross (Montrose): Was part of a really solid back three for Montrose, but Ross just edged it with her workrate. Cleared her lines, snuffed out potential attacks and pressed too. A key part to her side grabbing their first league win of the season.

Lauren Doran-Barr (Celtic): Strong going forward and provided great deliveries, including the ball in for the opening goal in the thrashing of Aberdeen.

Erin Husband (Hearts): While doing her job defensively she also was hugely influential in getting the ball forward. On another day she could have had two or three assists.

Ruby Seaby (Glasgow City): Set up City's second and then scored the third, which also happened to be her first goal league goal for the club. The 19-year-old's pace, strength and persistence were on show all afternoon.

Demi Taylor (Montrose): Central to her side's first win of the season. A constant threat with her runs and crosses into the box. Provided an assist for the opener and scored a wonderful goal to help secure three precious points.

Gry Boe Thrysoe (Rangers): The Dane controlled things so well in the middle of the park with composed aggression. Seems to enjoy doing the hard work to allow her team-mates to get on the ball.

Keri Halliday (Hearts): Full of energy and key to Hearts' dominance and attacking play. She scored two goals and assisted another as the defending champions put six past Partick Thistle.

Kayla Jardine (Hearts): Becoming a regular in the team of the week. The forward had a brilliant game on Sunday, scored a great goal and set up another three.

Maria McAneny (Celtic): The Scotland international's attacking threat is a joy to watch. She scored two great goals for Celtic and was involved in setting up another.

Katie Wilkinson (Rangers): Netted a fabulous double to help Rangers earn an impressive win over Hibs. Her first goal showed great awareness and brilliant execution, while her free-kick was a mix of precision and power. Offers her side so much.
