Will Grant Scott’s “phenomenal” work with Hibs end their six-year trophy drought this weekend?
The table-topping capital club head into Saturday’s SWPL Cup final in blistering form and looking to defeat holders Rangers to land their first silverware since lifting the same trophy in 2019.
Former Scotland and Hibs goalkeeper Gemma Fay says her old club’s exploits this season are remarkable given the disparity in resources with the Old Firm.
“It’s a really, really interesting game,” said Fey on the BBC’s Scottish football podcast.
“Rangers are defending the trophy, but Hibs currently sit top of the SWPL and are on a 10-game winning streak. The last time they lost was in December.
“And the top of the SWPL table is causing a bit of interest around Europe in terms of women’s football because it is unpredictable. You’ve got five teams up there who are all capable of winning.
“And the fact Hibs are top of that with the resources that everybody knows Celtic and Rangers have is blowing a few people’s minds.
“You’ve got to take your hat off to Grant Scott in terms of the job that he’s done there. It’s nothing short of phenomenal.
“Hibs haven’t lost to Rangers this season yet. They drew 1-1 and then in December they absolutely thumped them 3-0.
“There’s a chance that there’s a new name on the cup this weekend – but you can’t write off Rangers.”
