Why Sunday's match between Hibs and Hearts is a real watershed moment for women's football

There is a lot of pressure on players from both sides ahead of this game. It will be the biggest crowd they've ever played in front of. First-time fans will come to the game on Sunday. The game is sanitised for all. Women's football is growing in popularity in Scotland. BBC Alba and Sky Sports are broadcasting live games. The market which women's game wants to tap into is those who watch the men on a weekly basis. There is still a disregard or sneering about women’s football among the average male punter. This writer's first game was a dismal 1-0 Hearts win over Clydebank in the League Cup in 1992.
