But a Rangers victory in front of their own fans will land them the title given their vastly superior goal difference.

They will be boosted by the fact they thumped Hibs 5-0 in the Sky Sports Cup final in March.

Glasgow City are out of the race - they can go level on points, but Gers boast a better goal difference by 26 goals.

There were no signs of any nerves as Hibs thumped champions Celtic with a 4-2 win at Meadowbank last night.

Goals from Ciara Grant and a brace from the Kathleen McGovern had them 3-0 up after just 25 minutes.

Saoirse Noonan pulled one back before the break.

But Eilidh Adams added Hibs’ fourth before a late consolation from Bruna Lourenco.

Celtic are now 15 points off the league leaders.

Hibs manager Grant Scott said: "We've done our jobs tonight and taken it to the last game, which is an unbelievable achievement already.

"We didn't think we'd be here at this moment, but the harsh reality is that we've got a lot of work to do yet because we face a formidable opponent."

Jo Potter’s Gers side beat Hearts 5-3.

They were leading 5-1 before allowing their concentration to slip in the latter stages.

Boss Potter said: "We've been put in a position where the pressure's really on, but it's a position we'd have paid for a week ago.

"We get great support home and away no matter where we go, but I'd really love to see the fans turn up for this one."

Gers found themselves in the same position two seasons back when they hosted City on the final day, with the Petershill side nicking the title with almost the very last kick of the ball.

City dumped Motherwell 2-1, with Brenna Lovera netting a late penalty to give them all three points.

Leanne Ross’ side will now turn their full attention to next weekend’s Scottish Cup final — when they play Rangers at Hampden — as they look to end the season with silverware.
