Hibernian vs Hearts: SWPL video stream score updates & match report

Hearts are Scottish Women's Premier League champions for the first time despite losing 2-0 to Edinburgh rivals Hibernian on the final day of the campaign.

Eva Olid's side could have won the title by avoiding defeat at Meadowbank but runners-up Rangers' heavy loss at Glasgow City meant the overnight leaders finished with a two-point winning advantage.

And it is a first trophy as Hearts boss for Olid in her final match in charge, with the Spaniard moving on this summer.

Georgia Timms went close from a narrow angle as Hearts threatened in the opening minutes.

Hibs led through Eilidh Adams' spot-kick after Danique Ypema was penalised for barging over Rosie Livingstone and Carly Girasoli turned in an own goal from Tegan Bowie's cross.

In between the first-half goals, Girasoli claimed unsuccessfully for a penalty following Adams' challenge. After the break, Carly Johns and Jessica Husband could not get the better of Hibs goalkeeper Noa Schumacher.

By half-time at Petershill, Rangers were three down to Glasgow City and City would score three more in the second period.

And so the trophy stays in Scotland's capital as it passes from Hibs to Hearts, who were promoted to the top flight in 2019.

Hearts head coach Eva Olid told BBC Alba: "I'm in shock. You come with the mindset of 'win the game'. You don't win but you win the league. It's a strange feeling. We won the league, that is bigger than winning a game of football.

"We were the more consistent team. Last two weeks the players, you could feel were nervous. It's normal, it's a young team. First team that all of them are in this situation.

"It's just football things. I wanted to stay but competing as we were competing this year, it's not possible. I need to step away."

Hearts captain Georgia Hunter told BBC Alba: "It's such a surreal feeling. It's been a long time coming for us.

"This season's been hard, it's had its highs, it's had its lows but I think the girls deserve this so much. We got the league win and that's all that matters."

Hibernian head coach Joelle Murray told BBC Alba: "I said it to Eva Olid before the game, whatever happens today, she can be so proud of herself. From where she came into the club to where she's leaving the club, she can be proud of herself. A breath of fresh air.

"They're a hard team to play against and to beat. We were just fortunate today that we managed to do that. Since I came in, I tried to galvanise the group, get them playing exciting football but football that they also enjoy, football where they're playing with a smile on their face. Once again, you could see they did that today."
