Rangers retained their Sky Sports Cup crown by making light work of Hibs with a 5-0 victory at Fir Park.
Jo Potter's team went into the final trailing their title rivals by two points at the top of the SWPL but put on a commanding display to get their hands on the trophy for a third year running.
Barring a scrappy opening 15 minutes, Gers were in control and opened the scoring with seven minutes of the half remaining when Kirsty Wilkinson reacted well to stab the ball past Erin Clachers from close range after her initial effort had been blocked.
And with men's boss Barry Ferguson watching on, they started the second half just how they finished the first one to put the cup final to bed within four minutes of the restart.
Camille Lafaix was alive in the box to beat the offside trap and knock home a second before the unfortunate Kirsten Reilly diverted the ball into her own net to make it 3-0.
Grant Scott's team were unable to recover from that two-goal burst and spent the remainder of the game on the back-foot, with the impressive Clachers doing her best to keep the score down.
But the stopper was finally beaten again as Gers star Kirsty Howat was finally rewarded for her top performance by driving a low shot past Clachers to get in on the act.
And it got worse for Hibs in injury time as sub Rio Hardy was sent clear to lash home and round off the scoring.
Potter's Gers will now hope they can use the cup triumph to spur them onto a title charge, with retaining the Scottish Cup also high on the agenda.

'It's a sore one to take'
Hibs head coach Grant Smith admits the manner of their heavy cup final loss to Rangers hurts.
He told BBC Scotland:
It's a sore one to take, a lot of learning and analysis to do on that one.
We critically lost goals at bad times in the game so a sore one to take.
I didn't think we'd been ourselves at all in first half and we asked them to be more attentive to Rangers' movement, not get dragged round so much and just be better with the football.
Unfortunately we didn't really get a chance to do that, we lost the ball straight from kick-off and it handed momentum and territory to Rangers so that was disappointing.
We have to dust ourselves down now. The best teams react and that's what we'll be striving for now.

"The first trophy is super important"
Rangers boss Jo Potter is hopeful Sky Sports Cup triumph can breathe new life into treble charge.
Speaking to Sky Sports, she said:
The first trophy is super important, I say that all the time.
The league is super competitive this year so it's not like that if you lose one game, it's not gone.
I think it is going to change week in week out and that's why this one was super important. It wasn't easy to get the first trophy of the season and win it three times in a row.
Anthony Evans
"It's hard to put into words"
An ecstatic Kirsty McLean is extremely proud of Rangers' success, particuarly as they came into the final as underdogs.
Speaking to BBC Scotland, she said:
It's hard to put into words, I don't think anyone thought we'd show up and win 5-0, I'm really proud of the girls and we deserved that today.
We've also got that belief in us. We probably came in as underdogs having not beaten them yet, very happy now.
To win this three years in a row is a massive achievement for us.
Playing at Rangers you're expected to get to finals and expected to win them so I'm really happy to do that.
Anthony Evans
'It's massive, I've never won a cup before'
Rangers defender Leah Eddie is buzzing to get her hands on her first piece of silverware in her career.
She told BBC Sport Scotland:
We knew it was going to be a tough game and that we had to turn up but we've done exactly that and we've implemented every single thing that we worked on during the week and it's paid off.
I think loads of people thought we had to prove ourselves to Hibs but we just had to prove ourselves to each other. We knew that if we focused on that, worked together, and fought for it that we'd be fine.
It's massive, I've never won a cup before and doing it for the club I support hopefully we can kick on and win more.
