Rangers dominate team of the week after Old Firm win

Rachel Johnstone (Hearts): Had the difficult job of coming on at half-time on Sunday night against Glasgow City, but put in a sturdy display with a couple of superb saves to deny Leanne Ross' side in the second half and help Hearts to a huge win. Danique Ypema (Hearts): Nicked Georgia Timms shooting boots? A simply sensational goal which proved to be the historic match-winner as Eva Olid's side beat City for the first time, while moving to the top of the table.

Following a massive weekend in Scottish Women's Football, Rangers players have rightfully dominated the Team of the Week after a statement Old Firm victory over Celtic. Their commanding performance sets the tone for a list filled with clutch goals, heroic saves, and game-changing moments.

Between the posts, Hearts' Rachel Johnstone earns her spot after a heroic second-half performance. Thrust into action at halftime against Glasgow City, she made several superb saves to preserve a clean sheet and secure a monumental win for her side.

In defense, Rangers' Eilidh Austin showed incredible versatility and composure. The teenager seamlessly shifted into central defense for the high-pressure Old Firm clash and looked completely unfazed, putting in an impressively mature display. She's joined by Partick Thistle's Demi Falconer, the leader of a resolute back line that earned a hard-fought first point in the split, and Motherwell's Sophie Townsley, who provided two assists in a single minute during a dominant Lanarkshire derby win.

The midfield is where the magic happened this week. Hearts' Danique Ypema stole the headlines with a simply sensational, historic match-winning goal that lifted her team to the top of the table. For Rangers, 16-year-old sensation May Cruft ran the show against Celtic with unbelievable composure and control, earning a penalty and proving nearly unplayable. Glasgow City's Linda Motlhalo also makes the cut; despite being on the losing side, she was her team's most dangerous and lively player throughout.

Up front, Montrose's Demi Taylor delivered a stoppage-time masterclass. With her team trailing 1-0 and just five minutes remaining, she first provided the assist for the equalizer before slamming home a 96th-minute winner to virtually guarantee her team's safety. Rangers' Brogan Hay also continues her strong return from injury, making back-to-back starts and looking sharper with each appearance for the league leaders.
