Lisa Forrest's cross was turned in by Laura Rafferty to give Glasgow City the opener

Rangers came from behind to hold league leaders Glasgow City to a 1-1 draw at Petershill Park.

As a result Celtic move up to second, thanks to their win over Montrose, and are five points behind City following the draw in Glasgow.

A solid stop from Lee Gibson denied Calliste Brookshire who was one-on-one with the City keeper after she intercepted a slack pass from City centre-back Emma Brownlie in the early stages.

Rangers goalkeeper Jenna Fife was also forced into a save early on as she gets a foot in the way of Nicole Kozlova's effort from close range.

Gibson was called into action to deny a Rangers chance at one end before City broke up the other and scored when Laura Raffery turned the ball into her own net trying to clear Lisa Forrest's low cross.

Laura Berry thought she'd dragged Rangers level right on the stroke of half-time but the flag was immediately raised for offside on the Rangers striker.

The visitors went close to pulling a goal back but Gibson pulled off an impressive save on the stretch to keep out Laura Berry's lofted shot.

Linda Motlhalo almost added a second but her strike from the edge of the box was well caught by Fife and the Rangers keeper had to deny City again as she parried away Kozlova's strike at the near post.

Rangers found the equaliser with just over five minutes to play at Petershill Park when Brookshire's looping effort dipped behind Gibson and into the back of the net.

Leanne Crichton's side drop to third and are only one point ahead of Hearts, who have a game in hand, after their win at home to Partick Thistle.
