Kirsty Howat opened her scoring of the season and set the Light Blues on their way with further first-half goals from Chelsea Cornet, Brogan Hay, Rio Hardy and Kathy Hill.

Scottish international Howat increased the lead to 6-0 shortly after the hour mark, substitutes Katie Wilkinson and Laura Berry also scored before Hannah Cunningham put the ball into her own net to complete the goal.

The win keeps Potter’s side top of the table with 24 goals scored and none conceded in three games, but the Gers manager believes they could have played better despite the awful weather conditions.

Speaking to RangersTV, she said: “We scored nine goals and didn’t concede a goal, which was probably the best result of the night.”

“I’m not particularly happy with the performance. It was a bit bumpy and we weren’t quite at our best.”

“It’s hard to say after a 9-0 win, but those are the standards we set. We were 5-0 up at halftime, but we told them we had to stick to our standards.

“The performance wasn’t there, but it was stormy, we couldn’t find and make the passes because of the weather, but I expect us to find solutions and that’s what we lacked.

“We were slow at the start of both halves and that can set the tone for the rest of the game.

“We can’t start slowly because that gives the opponent an advantage. We’ve got ourselves into trouble and we need to iron it out.”

“I don’t expect us to be perfect, but I expect us to get better.”

Seven different Rangers scorers scored to win the match against the Spiders that night and Potter was pleased to see the goals shared between the team ahead of Sunday’s trip to Montrose.

She added: “We have always scored goals from all positions on the pitch and we must continue to do so.

“We created more chances than we scored, so we have to keep working on that.

“I thought Kathy Hill was outstanding, she held the line well, led the team and she deserved her goal.

“We have another big game on Sunday. We’ll rest up and then see what we can do against Montrose.”
