Striker Katie Wilkinson is confident Rangers can bounce back from their final-day title disappointment to lift the Scottish Cup on Sunday.
Leanne Crichton’s side would have pipped Hearts – who lost 2-0 to Hibernian – to SWPL success had they beaten Glasgow City, but were thrashed 6-0.
Now they are aiming to salvage silverware in Sunday’s cup final showdown against Celtic at Hampden, but Wilkinson knows it will be difficult to get over last weekend.
“It’s been tough, we’re all hurting from that still,” she told BBC Scotland.
“There’s no point lying about that but ultimately we’ve got a game on Sunday that means a lot to us. At some point we’ve had to draw a line past Sunday and put our full focus on trying to win the cup.
“It’s going to be sore probably going into next season, the manner in which it happened, but we’ve got an opportunity on Sunday where we can feel maybe a per cent better and bringing silverware back to this club is what we’re here for. We’ll do everything we can to make that happen.
“As a group we’ve really come together this week, after a tough day on Sunday, and I think that’ll put us in good stead ready for Sunday.”
Rangers have won all five meetings with rivals Celtic this season – four in the league and once in the League Cup.
“We feel good,” Wilkinson added.
“When the group comes together you feel strong, we’ve worked hard this week. For us the focus is solely on us. We’ll go into Sunday and do everything we can.
“It’s a cup final, anything can happen, but we’re ready. We want to win the cup and we’ll do everything to make that happen.”
