Leanne Crichton’s side were 3-0 down to Hearts at halftime after a Georgia Timms double and a Georgia Hunter strike.

The Gers staged a second-half rally and pulled it back to 3-2 with goals from Kathy Hill and Mia McAulay, but Hearts stood firm to take the win.

Rangers captain Nicola Docherty said: “We are in there scratching our heads as to how we could play like that in the first half.

“The biggest thing is frustration. We were all over them in the second half so not to have got even a point is tough to take.
