Rangers FC Women are gearing up for a pivotal Scottish Cup semi-final clash against Glasgow City this Saturday at Hampden. The highly anticipated cup fixture follows closely on the heels of a hard-fought 1-1 midweek league draw, where Rangers impressively secured a point despite playing the entire second half with only 10 players.

Rangers captain Kelly Clark believes that resilient performance has significantly boosted the team's morale ahead of their trip to the iconic National Stadium. The immense incentive of reaching a prestigious cup final has the entire squad eagerly anticipating the upcoming tie.

Speaking to Rangers TV before the game, Clark emphasized: "Wednesday night was a decent performance in challenging conditions, and it's given us energy. We were disappointed with a couple of performances before that, but I think we gave ourselves a lift on Wednesday night. The atmosphere’s great and the squad’s ready to go."

Clark highlighted the significance of the match: "These are pressure games, massive games, and you want to get yourself to the final. It’s the National Stadium, it’s where you want to be, and you know you’ve done alright in the cup when you get to that point, so we’re really looking forward to it." She added, "In years gone by we’ve stood up to the occasion and we’re really hoping to stand up again on Saturday."

Expressing her fondness for the venue, the Rangers captain continued: "I love Hampden. I love playing on grass, to be honest. We don’t get to do it very often so it’s nice when we do. It’s a massive pitch, which we like. It’s a historic stadium and a huge occasion, so we’re looking forward to it."

This Saturday's Scottish Cup semi-final marks the fifth encounter between Rangers and Glasgow City this season. Previous clashes have seen three 1-1 draws and a narrow 2-1 defeat for the Gers, setting the stage for another closely contested battle. Kelly Clark is optimistic for a positive outcome.
