Rangers' Coach Crichton: League Win Will Ease Tension Before Final

According to Rangers head coach Leanne Crichton, their recent league victory over Glasgow City should help to "ease the nerves" as they prepare for the upcoming Sky Sports Cup final on Sunday. The team's win, which came courtesy of Katie Wilkinson's stoppage-time penalty, marked City's first domestic defeat of the season and reduced the gap in the league to five points with seven matches remaining. With the first major trophy of the campaign now within reach, Crichton hopes to use this momentum to secure her maiden trophy for the club. In an interview with Sky Sports, she stated, "The three points have brought Glasgow City back into the title race, and now we can focus on the final." Crichton wants her players to enjoy the week, prepare well, and not feel stressed. The win, she believes, has calmed the team's nerves and allowed them to recognize their potential. Despite having been their own worst enemy at times this season, the team's performance has given them confidence. Both Rangers and Glasgow City are still in contention for domestic trebles, with Rangers seeking to win their fourth consecutive Sky Sports Cup. Having won the double last season and narrowly missing out on the league title, there is pressure on Crichton to deliver silverware in her first season as head coach, a challenge she is willing to accept.
