Peter’s taking middle ground

PREMIER LEAGUE leaders Glasgow City host Hamilton Accies tonight at Glasgow Green - their fourth last game of a nail-biting season.

The sides last met back in August, with City running out 3-0 winners, and manager Peter Caulfield is hoping for more of the same.

He said: "It has been a while since we played each other and both of our squads have changed slightly since then.

"With it getting so close to the end of the season, I would say I just want three points, but the tempo the girls have been showing at training means I also want a big performance - one they are capable of.

"We were pretty comfortable last time we played Hamilton, but they are a good side, slightly Jekyll and Hyde with their performances and results, so we know we could be in for a very tough match."

City welcome back their central midfield pairing of Leanne Ross and Megan Sneddon, who were part of the excellent Scotland side which defeated Portugal 4-1 last weekend in their European Championship qualifier, giving City a full-strength side to face the Accies.

Three points for City will edge them closer to the title and will keep the pressure on second- placed Hibs not to slip up as they chase close behind.

On Sunday, Glasgow City travel to Forfar to take on Forfar Farmington, while Hibs will host a difficult Kilmarnock side currently fighting with Edinburgh for fourth place.

With so few games left, there is no margin for error and, with City and Hibs still to face each other, the title could still easily swing in favour of the Capital side.

Sunday: Celtic v Aberdeen, Hamilton v Raith Rovers, Edinburgh v Vale of Clyde, Hibs v Kilmarnock, Forfar Farmington v Glasgow City.
