Final
Glasgow City won the cup for the third time in their history (after 2004 and 2006), proving too strong for first-time finalists Rangers who were in their first season competing under the identity of the famous men's club (they took over existing lower-division members Paisley Saints). Glasgow City also won that season's Scottish Women's Premier League championship and SWPL Cup to complete a 'treble'.[https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/unique-treble-rounds-super-season-2435350 Unique treble rounds off a super season for Megan Sneddon], Daily Record, 3 June 2009 Rangers won the SWFL First Division to join the top tier for the following season.
