Maria McAneny scored one of the fastest goals in history as Celtic further dented Hibs' ambitions of retaining their SWPL crown. On the back of a 1-1 draw with Montrose, Hibs found themselves detached from the title race and slipped further behind right from kick-off. That was after McAneny lobbed the ball over the head of goalkeeper Noah Schumacher with just four seconds on the clock. Scarlett Herron was able to get one back for Hibs, a nice shot on the swivel from the edge of the box, but Saoirse Noonan's penalty rebound gave Elena Sadiku's side victory. Hibs sit fifth, six points behind fourth-placed Celtic and over 10 points back from the league leaders Glasgow City.
