Are in-form Hibs genuine title contenders?

With 14 games of the SWPL season to go, Hibs are in the running for their first title since 2007.

Grant Scott's side continued their excellent form with a 3-1 win at home to leaders Glasgow City on Sunday. The previous time they beat City? November 2007.

The Edinburgh club now sit third in the SWPL table, joint on points with Rangers and only two below City at the top.

Having gone 11 games without defeat, including nine wins, Hibs are on the longest unbeaten streak in the league.

What's more, they've taken four points off Rangers in their two meetings this term, as well as a point off Celtic in their only game so far.

It's looking rosy for Grant Scott's side, who finished fifth last term - eight points behind Hearts immediately above them and 36 off champions Celtic.

So, are Hibs really title contenders?

"They're definitely a team in the mix," Scotland captain Rachel Corsie said on the BBC's Behind the Goals podcast.

"Grant Scott and his team have done a good job. There's a confidence and a positive atmosphere that externally comes out of the club. It just feels a different energy."

Glasgow City assistant Leanne Crichton, who was in the dugout for Sunday's defeat, isn't surprised to see Hibs challenging at the top.

"They're a full-time team so they've got the resources, the facilities, the coaching staff," the former Scotland midfielder said.

"With the likes of Ciara Grant, Kirsten Reilly, [they have] an abundance of talent and good experience.

"They've got a really strong core of what you'd call a leadership group, Rachael Boyle is there and back to full fitness as well.

"For Hibs the balance looks way better. There's a lot of good things going on."
