SWPL game of the weekend & how to follow on BBC

It's the final round of fixtures before the SWPL splits in half and there's still one thing to be decided - who takes the final top six spot?

The league was reduced from 12 teams to 10 for the 2025/26 campaign and, as a result, the teams finishing in the top six will play each other twice while the sides in the bottom four will also play one another twice.

And five of the teams competing in the top half following the split have already been confirmed - Glasgow City, Hearts, Celtic, Rangers and Hibs - but there's one final spot up for grabs and that will be decided on Sunday.

Partick Thistle were four points behind Montrose before their win over their top six rivals two weeks ago - a result which left Thistle just one point adrift of Craig Feroz's side heading into the final game.

So there's two games to keep a close eye on but things are looking slightly more favourable for Gary Holt's team. They play bottom side Hamilton Accies while Montrose have to visit title challengers Rangers.

If Thistle win and Montrose lose, Thistle are in the top six. If Montrose are to pull of a shock at Broadwood and pick up three points, they'll be guaranteed that top six spot no matter what happens in Thistle's game.

Elsewhere Aberdeen host Hibs, while league leaders Glasgow City travel to Motherwell and Celtic are at home to Hearts.
