Rangers captain Nicola Docherty insists winning silverware is non-negotiable for a successful season, ahead of the Sky Sports Cup final against Glasgow City. The match at Fir Park on Sunday could secure a record-equalling fourth consecutive trophy for the Ibrox side, with Docherty highlighting the club’s history of success as motivation. "Pressure is privilege," she said, stressing that winning trophies defines Rangers’ identity and sets the benchmark for the team’s performance.

The Sky Sports Cup holders face fierce competition from SWPL leaders Glasgow City, who aim to defend their title. Despite Rangers closing the league gap to five points after a dramatic stoppage-time penalty last weekend, Docherty emphasized focus on the cup final: "We’ve had success, but we’re hungry for more." A domestic treble remains possible, though the captain prioritized the immediate challenge: "This cup final is a game like no other."

Docherty, a seven-time Sky Sports Cup winner with Rangers and Glasgow City, underscored her experience: "I’ve won 22 major honours, but this squad must maintain the same hunger." She framed the final as a test of legacy, stating, "At Rangers, success is measured by silverware." The match carries added weight as the club seeks to match Glasgow City’s dominance in women’s Scottish football.

With the league title race unresolved, a cup victory would solidify Rangers’ season. Docherty concluded, "We’re focused solely on lifting that trophy Sunday." The outcome could shape both teams’ ambitions for the remainder of the campaign.
