Lee Gibson (Glasgow City): He was eventually beaten by Katie Wilkinson but was denied a controversial penalty in stoppage time. Until then, Gibson had thwarted everything the striker and Rangers threw at her in her 300th game for Manchester City. Don’t be the loser.
Lauren Doran-Barr (Hibernian): Wearing a striking pink headband to protect his injuries, the Hibs defender excelled in many areas as Joel Murray’s side secured City bragging rights. Hearts struggled to break down the visitors’ right flank with Siobhan Hunter back to her side.

Kelly Clark (Celtic): Defense aside, Clark is on the team for her goal-scoring exploits. Her brace sealed the deal in a thrilling five-goal clash with The Thistles… Celtic forwards better watch out.
Leah Eddy (Rangers): The Scotland international returns to the starting XI having been forced to watch too many games from the sidelines this season. Ryan Clayton’s defense always looks stronger when Eddie is on the pitch and she played a vital role in ensuring a clean sheet against league leaders Manchester City.
Mia Selby (Aberdeen): The Scotland youth international marked her first start for the Dons with a goal and there is a suspicion it won’t be her last. One of many promising and highly regarded young international players…remember this name.
Camille Lafax (Rangers): All over Wanderers’ midfield and at the heart of many of their attacks. Has been impressive off the bench in the past two games; making the most of her start at Broadwood.

Millie Boughton (Motherwell): Goals one and two for Bordeaux and Amber, they could become an invaluable combination as Motherwell maintain a three-point advantage over Aberdeen, who occupy a dire relegation play-off spot.
Francesca Ogilvy (Aberdeen): Speaking of Aberdeen, players like Ogilvie will be key if Scott Booth’s side are to avoid the play-offs to retain their top-flight status. An experienced captain – albeit only 24 – opened the scoring for the Dons, who narrowly secured a must-win victory.
Rosie Livingstone (Hibernian): Livingstone loved his late goal against Hearts. But even when Oriam had her moment of magic later in the day, she remained a real thorn in the side of the Jambos. She should have been on the scoresheet earlier when easier opportunities presented themselves, but she saved her best for a breathless run and a brilliant finish at the death.
Kara Boyce (Motherwell): Two games, four goals… not a bad week for Boyce. Play-off places are likely to still be decided by goal difference, so Ian Robinson hopes his star striker can keep her shooting boots.

Terry Birchill (Hibernian): Katherine McGovern was replaced after just 10 minutes but the Scotland forward’s absence was quickly felt due to her influence and influence. With neat feet and quick pace, she led the line well and kept the home defense on their toes.
