Rangers have 'added incentive' to retain trophy
Rangers head coach Jo Potter admits she's been "surprised by Hibernian's consistency" as her side vie for their first win against the Edinburgh club this season in Saturday's SWPL Cup final.
Grant Scott's table-toppers enjoyed a 3-0 win against Rangers in their least league meeting, while the spoils were shared in October.
Potter said that record gives Rangers "an added incentive" to get the job done and retain the League Cup, but appreciates it will be far from straightforward against a side with "great momentum".
"I think we always knew Hibs had that potential, it's just the rise in such a short amount of time that has probably raised a few eyebrows," the former England international said.
"But we all know these players and Grant have been around the league for a long time. You know what they're doing right now, they've got great momentum and they've got great confidence after a couple of really good results.
"I think what was more surprising for me is it's lasted so long, this consistency. It's great for them, of course, but we want to be the ones to stop it.
"It brings a little bit of extra spice that we haven't beat our opponents in the league this year either, so that that's a little bit of an added incentive for us."
