Watch: SWPL1 - Celtic v Hibernian

A fantastic game with drama and action right to the end.

Celtic will be delighted to get the win against a good Hibs side but they had toiled for large parts of the game before coming to life in the latter stages of the second half.

For Hibs it's a tough loss to take given how well they played during the game but the fact they took Celtic so close is another sign of their improvement from last season.

Fran Alonso throws on Chloe Warrington and Kathleen McGovern as a last roll of the dice for Celtic.

That goal has given Hibs a new lease of life and they're now pushing for a winner.

That goal has changed the dynamic of the game with Hibs now forced to try and do more going forward but they're struggling to do so.

As a result Celtic are finding more space and time to dictate play.

A change for each side as they go in search of a win.

Shannon Leishman is on for Eilidh Adams for Hibs.

While Celtic bring on Rachael Donaldson for Maria Ólafsdóttir Gros.

Charlie Wellings steals the ball high up and shoots from around 20 yards out but it drifts just wide.

Better from Celtic but they're still finding it difficult to grab a hold of this game.

Celtic began the half with a renewed energy but, just like in the first half, Hibs have weathered that initial storm and are growing in confidence.

Tegan Bowie crosses in low from the left and a brilliant dummy from Mengyu Shen allows the ball to roll into Clarissa Larisey.

The Canadian forward side-foots it towards goal and it smashes off the crossbar.

We're back under way and there's surprisingly no changes for either side.

An intriguing half of football with Hibs definitely leaving the field the happier of the two sides.

Not too much in the way of clear cut chances for the away side but they have restricted Celtic to very few opportunities as well.

It's all set up for an exciting second half.

A nice exchange between Celtic's front two leads to Clarissa Larisey being played through on the left-hand side of the box.

Her cross is just out of reach of the onrushing Charlie Wellings and Hibs manage to clear.

10 minutes to go in the half and Hibs have more than held their own here, could we see another raft of half time changes from Celtic like they did against Glasgow City?

Celtic come to the life through the lively Mengyu Shen who plays a neat one-two with Charlie Wellings who then delivers a dangerous ball into the near post.

Gabby English does well to clear it away from the Hibs goal.

Hibs have really grown into the game and are the side on top at the moment despite not creating any glaring chances.

Celtic need to be better in possession but do look as though they could be a threat went they break at pace.

Hibs' game plan is working well so far with Celtic having to resort to long balls to get the play up to their forwards.

Hibs themselves have gotten up to Celtic's box on several occasions but are yet to craft a clear chance.

Hibs are getting into a good rhythm, particularly on their left-hand side, Rachael Boyle chips the ball into the box but in an attempt to reach the ball Colette Cavanagh and Alexa Coyle clash heads.

Thankfully both are up and seem fine.
