Leanne Crichton has declared Rangers' first league win over Glasgow City this season a crucial confidence booster as they prepare for Sunday's Sky Sports Cup final. The Ibrox side's 3-2 victory at Firhill inflicted the visitors' first domestic defeat, narrowing the SWPL title race gap to five points with seven matches remaining. Crichton emphasized the win's psychological importance, stating it 'calms the nerves' and allows her team to 'park it' in the league race while focusing on the upcoming final.

She told Sky Sports: 'We knew we had to win the game... the three points just reels Glasgow City back in the title race and it allows us now to park it.'.
