Glasgow City go into the winter break five points ahead of the SWPL after defeating Dundee United while Hibernian surprised second-placed Rangers.
Defending champions Celtic won 5-0 against Spartans, while Montrose climbed out of the relegation zone with a 1-0 win at Queen’s Park.
Third-placed Hearts were held to a goalless draw at Motherwell.
Hearts, having played more games, are now just two points ahead of their Edinburgh rivals, Hibs, who did poorly to inflict a second defeat on Rangers with a 3-0 win.
Kathleen McGovern scored either side of the break at Broadwood, chipping Rangers keeper Vic Esson from inside the penalty area before curling the ball into the top corner. Substitute Rosie Livingstone made it three with six minutes remaining.
The result saw Glasgow City extend their lead at the top, with Katie Lockwood and Lisa Forrest scoring twice in a 7-0 win over the bottom club. Amy Muir, Sam van Diemen and Brenna Lovera also scored as Dundee United had no reply.
Two goals from Emma Lawton and Saoirse Noonan, along with a goal from Kelly Clark, handed the Spartans a heavy defeat and left Celtic nine points behind City with two games in hand.
Montrose are out of the bottom three – above Aberdeen on goals – after Morgan Hay’s own goal decided the result against Queen’s Park.
Aberdeen’s game with Partick Thistle was postponed due to strong winds.
SWPL action will resume on January 12.
