The other quarter-finals saw Glasgow City defeat SWPL2 side Kilmarnock 3-0 at Rugby Park through Kinga Kozak, Jenna Clark and a Reese McCulloch own goal while Motherwell overcame Glasgow Women 4-0 at Cliftonville with Carla Boyce netting a hat-trick and Lauren Doran-Barr also on the scoresheet.

Both semi-finals will be played at Hampden Park with Celtic facing Glasgow City and Rangers taking on Motherwell for a place in the final of the revamped competition.

Motherwell assistant coach Leanne Crichton hailed her players for reaching the last four.

"It's really special," she said. "Not a player of players will get the opportunity to play at Hampden. It's a huge occasion for us and a huge achievement in terms of where we've came from and what we're looking to achieve at the club."

The semi-finals will take place over the weekend of April 22 and 23.
