RANGERS Ladies kept up their 100% league record last night as they came from behind to beat Celtic 2-1 at Petershill Park.

 

After finding themselves a goal down at the break, Lana Clelland and Claire Rae struck in the second half to turn the game on its head.

 

Gers have now won each of their 10 First Division fixtures so far and are a massive 12 points clear of their Old Firm rivals.

 

With eight games remaining, Drew Todd's girls - who have six under-17s in their team - are clear favourites to win the title in their debut season.

 

It has been a good week for the side after it reached the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup with a 5-2 extra-time win at Premier League outfit Raith Rovers on Sunday.

 

Jenna Ross and Lesley McMaster are also celebrating after receiving call-ups to the Scotland under-19 squad for a 10-team tournament in La Manga next month.

 

Todd said: "The first half against Celtic was probably the poorest we have played all season. We didn't pass the ball or keep possession terribly well.

 

"They scored first but we came back well and hit the woodwork a couple of times, although we still found ourselves trailing at the break.

 

"I had a word with the girls at half-time as I felt they were maybe suffering from heavy legs after playing for two hours at the weekend.

 

"We improved after the restart and although things didn't go totally to plan, we ground out the win.

 

"We'd have taken that beforehand so we're happy in that respect, especially as we've got so many youngsters in our squad at the moment."

 

:rfc: :cheers:
