RANGERS, who were knocked out of the League Cup and Scottish Cup by Celtic last season, beat their oldest rivals 2-1 to win the first-ever City of Glasgow Women's Cup match at the Excelsior Stadium yesterday. Although Rangers captain Nicola Docherty was presented with the new trophy the game was billed as a showpiece occasion and the competition proper won't start until next pre-season.
Rangers dominated the first half and took the lead through Sam Kerr on the half hour. Before the Scotland midfielder found the net with a powerful strike from inside the box, Lizzie Arnot, Kayla McCoy, new German midfielder Dina Orschmann and Chelsea Cornet had all come close to opening the scoring.
