What they're saying

"
Spartans began their return to the SWPL with a promising 1-1 draw with Partick Thistle and face a tough test when they travel to Rangers on Sunday. Having been knocked out of Champions League qualifying just before the start of the new domestic campaign, Rangers initially struggled against Montrose and were held at 1-1 until the final 20 minutes when their quality began to show in what was a 4-1 victory at Links Park. In last season's Scottish Cup quarter-finals, Spartans kept it goalless against Rangers until the 69th minute before conceding twice.
