Will Hearts be crowned SWPL champions this weekend?

Hearts are chasing down their first SWPL title – and could be crowned champions as early as this weekend.

With three top-six fixtures remaining, Eva Olid's side have a four-point lead over Rangers and Glasgow City.

Seeing it over the line will be no easy task for Hearts, with a visit to fourth-place Celtic on Sunday.

Win there, though, and the title will be secured if Rangers and Glasgow City both lose. Even a draw apiece for both of the chasing teams would leave Hearts with one hand on the trophy.

Olid, who will depart Hearts at the end of the season after five years in charge, was named PFA Scotland SWPL manager of the year on Sunday night and said it would be a "dream" farewell to win the title.

Second-place Rangers get the top-six action under way on Sunday with a trip to face Partick Thistle at 14:00, live on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app.

Defending champions Hibs welcome Glasgow City at 16:00, with Hearts' away trip to Celtic kicking off 10 minutes later, live on BBC Alba plus the BBC Sport website and app.

Hearts have won their past four games, beating Thistle, Celtic, Rangers and City to put themselves in pole position for glory.
