After the weekend's second round action, we're down to just 16 teams in the Scottish Women's Cup.

Here's how the teams got to the third round then - some with incredible ease and incredible tallies of goals, others forced to work as hard as possible for the win.

Spartans pay the [enalty

Kathleen Toolan's penalty saw the SWPL 2 Hamilton Academical cause a cupset by beating SWPL 1 Spartans 4-3 on spot-kicks, after drawing 0-0.

It was Spartans who had the better chances of the 120 minutes, with the majority falling to substitute Michelle Russell who squandered a few golden opportunities. The home side also had two 'goals' ruled out for offside. But Hamilton defended resolutely for the majority of the game and caused Spartans problems on the counter, although, they didn't test 'keeper Eartha Cumings enough.

After both sides missed two spot-kicks, the shootout progressed into sudden-death. Kathleen Toolan put Hamilton in front before Kirsty McLaughlin missed the crucial spot-kick.

The win sees Hamilton progress to the Third Round, whilst for the second season in a row, Spartans are knocked out at the first hurdle.

More cupsets

SWFL Division One North side Dee Ladies lost to SWFL Division Two East's Raith Rovers 4-3.

Raith Rovers went in at half-time 1-0, thanks to Rebecca McGowan's goal.

The second-half was more of a dramatic affair, with both teams scoring three goals. Dee Ladies' goals came from Lynn Duncan's brace and Lauren Duncan.

But Raith held on to reach the Third Round, thanks to two goals from Kerri Dinne and one more from McGowan.

SWFL Division Two North's Granite City caused a shock by beating SWFL Division One North's Dee Vale 5-1, to reach the Scottish Women's Cup Third Round.

Granite City took the lead through Brown, but Dee Vale equalised when Fielding lobbed the onrushing keeper.

The scores remained 1-1 at half-time, but Granite City won out the second half. Two more goals from Brown to complete her hat-trick, and two from Buchan saw them secure an impressive 5-1 win.

SWFL Division Two South-West leaders Renfrew caused a huge upset, beating SWPL 2 strugglers Queen's Park 5-0.

Renfrew went in at half-time 1-0 up thanks to Janice McIntyre's penalty, and then in the second half, Renfrew scored four more goals to seal a famous win.

Celtic triumph in all SWPL 1 clash

Celtic triumphed 7-0 against Aberdeen in the Scottish Women's Cup Second Round match in the all-SWPL 1 clash.

Celtic's Suzanne Mulvey had a chance to take the lead in the 5th minute, but fired over from 20 yards.

But, Celtic did take the lead in the 12th minute when Abbi Grant's free-kick picked out Kelly Clark whose header beat the Aberdeen keeper.

Three minutes later, it was 2-0 after good play from Joanne Paton won a corner, from which, a scramble commenced and Mulvey pounced to score.

Abbi Grant made it 3-0, before Mulvey scored her second after a 30-yard solo run.

Just before half-time, Mulvey completed her hat-trick with a composed finish. Deep into first half stoppage time, Grant scored her second to give Celtic a 6-0 lead at half-time.

It would take until the 73rd minute for Celtic to score their final goal, after Mulvey unselfishly squared the ball back to Paton who converted.

Forfar took the lead in the 17th minute when Robyn Smith's header beat the keeper, but Louise Brown equalised for Buchan three minutes later.

Then, in the 27th minute, Buchan took the lead with Brown's second goal, before Leanne Reid made it 3-1 just before the half-hour mark.

But two goals in three minutes from Amy Gallacher and Ann Taylor saw Forfar equalise in the 35th minute.

Kirsty Deans' header saw Forfar retake the lead in the 98th minute, before Robyn Smith made sure of the victory.

Big wins for SWPL sides

The Scottish Women's Cup holders Glasgow City progressed through to the Third Round with ease, beating SWFL Second Division Central side East Kilbride 26-0. The win saw City score their 2463rd goal in their history, since being formed in 1998. With the score 10-0, East Kilbride's keeper Amy Hamilton went off injured, forcing them to play with an outfield player in goal.

City rested a few of their players with the midweek SWPL Cup Final in mind, and gave debuts to Hannah Coakley and Aimiee Docherty, but their lineup still included Scotland internationals like Leanne Ross, Erin Cuthbert and Hayley Lauder.

Captain Ross scored nine times, meaning she is now just three goals behind City's all-time goal scorer Suzanne Lappin on 231.

Cuthbert scored four goals whilst Sarah Crilly and Brogan Hay scored hat-tricks. Savannah McCarthy and debutant Hannah Coakley scored twice with Lauder and Kodie Hay scoring one each. The final goal was an East Kilbride own goal.
