It was a tale of two missed penalties in the big Scottish Women’s Premier League (SWPL) title clash between Celtic and Glasgow City, as the top two played out a goalless draw at East Kilbride’s K-Park to leave reigning champions City four points clear at the top of the league.

City defender Janine van Wyk was the first to miss from the spot, stepping up after Priscila Chinchilla was felled by Hoops forward Mariah Lee. However, goalkeeper Chloe Logan proved equal to her first half spot kick to delight Hoops boss Fran Alonso.

It would be Lee Alexander’s turn to be the hero in the second half though, as the Scotland international palmed out Sarah Ewans penalty 25 minutes from time. Celtic were to be further aggrieved soon after when Lee was chopped down by Jenna Clark in the closing stages, just as she was bearing down on goal. Clark did receive her marching orders, but the Ghirls were unable to capitalise in the remaining minutes.
