Team News: Crichton Picks Team For Old Firm Test

LEANNE Crichton has named one change to her Rangers side for this afternoon's ScottishPower Women's Premier League clash against Celtic at Broadwood Stadium.

It is the penultimate league fixture for the Gers this campaign as they currently occupy the UEFA Champions League qualification spots.

And from last weekend's triumph over Partick Thistle on the road, in comes 16-year-old Lily Boyce in place of Kathy Hill in defence.

It means Jenna Fife retains her place between the posts, behind a backline of Eilidh Austin, Boyce, Leah Eddie and captain Nicola Docherty.

In midfield, Jodi McLeary is joined by Kim Shin Ji and May Cruft, one of three teenagers in this afternoon's starting lineup.

Katie Wilkinson, fresh off being named Scottish Football Writers' Association SWPL Player of the Year, leads the line in attack, where she is flanked by Laura Berry and Calliste Brookshire.

Among the substitutes this afternoon is Soffia Kelly, Jess Pegram, Brogan Hay, Quinty Sabajo, Li Mengwen, Mia McAulay, Lizzie Arnot, Camille Lafaix and Fallon Connolly-Jackson.

Kick-off in Cumbernauld is 4pm, and the match is available live on BBC Sport Scotland.

RANGERS: Fife, Austin, Boyce, Eddie, Docherty, McLeary, Cruft, Shin Ji, Berry, Brookshire, Wilkinson
