How Rangers Women have proved Glasgow is blue with Old Firm exploits
Rangers Women look like the team to beat in the Scottish Women's Premier League this season.
With manager Leanne Crichton now in her second season in charge, Gers are looking to go one better in the league than they did last term.
Finishing second and just two points behind winners Hearts, 2025-26 saw them come agonisingly close to being crowned Scottish champions.
However, ahead of matchday six against Celtic on Sunday, Crichton's side had won all five of their opening league games and sat top of the table as such.
But nothing is certain when it comes to Old Firm derby day, and Grant Scott's Hoops would be a big test for Rangers.
They didn't just pass that test, however, as what they were able to achieve on Sunday will send a clear message to all of Scotland: Glasgow is blue.
How did Rangers Women get on against Celtic?
Over recent years, Rangers' men's side have seen Glaswegian bragging rights go back and forth between themselves and Celtic.
Indeed, rarely has any one side gone on an extended run of victories over the other.
That is perhaps primed to change moving forward, however, as Derek McInnes' boys have of course recorded back-to-back Old Firm wins this month.
After a comfortable 3-0 win in the Scottish League Cup, Gers put one of their best Parkhead performances in many years with a 1-0 victory last time out thanks to a Ryan Naderi goal.
Having witnessed this, Rangers Women took the Old Firm baton on Sunday as they welcomed Celtic to Broadwood Stadium.
Crichton's side routed the Greens to the tune of five goals to two, despite the fact Celtic had the scores level at 2-2 on 55 minutes.
A Jodi McLeary brace was followed by strikes from Hannah Blake, Katie Wilkinson and Calliste Brookshire, in what was a memorable day for the team.
But why was Sunday's win a case of business as Old Firm usual for Rangers Women?
What is Rangers Women's record vs Celtic in last 10 games?
Glaswegian bragging rights may have been routinely divvied up over past years as far as the men's game is concerned, but that's not the case for Rangers Women.
Crichton's side were out for revenge on Sunday, however, after Celtic ran out 1-0 winners in the Scottish Cup in the previous meeting back in May.
Revenge has rarely been on the Rangers menu when it comes to the Greens in recent years though.
Indeed, in the last 10 Old Firm meetings between the two sides, Celtic Women have only beaten Rangers once in that aforementioned cup tie.
Rangers Women have claimed six victories and the other ending in a draw, proving beyond any doubt who runs the show in this city right now.
