Bishopton Ladies and St Mirren Women have both been knocked out of the ScottishPower National League Cup following quarter-final defeats on Sunday, 1st November 2026.
Bishopton suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat to Elgin City, while St Mirren lost 3-0 to last year’s winners Stirling University.
Elgin City reached their first senior women’s cup semi-final after surviving a second-half comeback from Bishopton.
Following a goalless first half, the visitors from Moray raced into a 3-0 lead early in the second period.
Bishopton fought back with two goals from substitute Catriona Mcallister, but Elgin held on to secure their place in the last four.
St Mirren’s cup campaign also came to an end as Stirling University scored three unanswered goals to progress to the semi-finals.
Elsewhere, Greenock Morton defeated last season’s runners-up Dryburgh Athletic 1-0 in Dundee, with Elidh Drain scoring the only goal of the match.
Stenhousemuir completed the semi-final line-up following a 5-3 victory over Inverurie Loco Works at Ochilview.
Inverurie scored twice within five minutes to take an early lead, but Stenhousemuir recovered to score three goals before half-time, with centre forward Cerys Corey playing an important role in the comeback.
Inverurie equalised after an hour, but Stenhousemuir finished strongly to secure their place in the next round.
The four clubs progressing to the ScottishPower National League Cup semi-finals are Elgin City, Stirling University, Greenock Morton and Stenhousemuir.
