Team News: Jo Potter Names Side To Face Spartans

JO POTTER has named her Rangers side for this afternoon’s Scottish Gas Women’s Scottish Cup quarter-final tie against Spartans at Broadwood Stadium.

It’s the last eight of the competition, as the Gers look to take a step closer to retaining the trophy they won for the first time in their history last season by booking their place at Hampden Park for the semis with victory.

From the team that played out a 2-2 draw on their return to action last weekend, the former Lioness has made five changes which include a debut for goalkeeper Telma Ivarsdottir, who joined the side back in January from Icelandic club Breidablik.

Captain Nicola Docherty, Laura Rafferty, Kirsty Howat and Jodi McLeary also come into the starting lineup.

That means Ivarsdottir will start between the posts for the first time, with Docherty in the team alongside Leah Eddie and Rafferty.

Brogan Hay retains her place in the side and remains an ever present in the lineup since the turn of the year, with Howat Ni coming in and joined by Rio Hardy and Lizzie Arnot.

Kirsty Maclean retains her place along with Liv McLoughlin, with McLeary coming in to complete the side for the cup tie.

On the substitutes bench for Rangers this afternoon is Jenna Fife, Kathy Hill, Tessel Middag, Jane Ross, Chelsea Cornet, Camille Lafaix, Katie Wilkinson and May Cruft.

Kick off in Cumbernauld is at 2:00pm and you can watch all the action live on the Scottish Cup YouTube channel.
