Rio Hardy was the hero as Jo Potter's side turned things around in Airdrie to heat things up at the top of the table.
Celtic were leapfrogged at the top of the table after the Light Blues came from behind in Airdrie to secure a massive three points against their rivals. The win also takes them six points clear of Glasgow City in third place as the top three pull away from the remaining pack after ten games played so far this campaign.
Fran Alonso's side will be kicking themselves for letting their lead slip. Caitlin Hayes fired them into the lead on 53 minutes and looked like the Ghirls were going to pull away from their rivals at the summit. But Jo Potter's team responded well, levelling just seven minutes later through Kirsty Mclean, who was given too much time in the box to pick her spot and restore parity.
The defending for Gers' winner left a lot to be desired as well. Celtic were static as a cross came in from the left and Rio Hardy was on the move, ghosting into space right in front of goal to direct her header into the back of the net. Five minutes stoppage time was added and Kelsey Daugherty had to produce a big stop to prevent Celtic from snatching a late point. She denied Kirsty Howat and the Ibrox side were able to hold on for what could be a crucial victory in their chase for the SWPL crown.
