'That's why we're champions' - Docherty

Rangers captain Nicola Docherty says lifting the Scottish Cup gave her "goosebumps" and hailed their mentality in the 2-0 win over Hearts on Sunday.

Goals from Rachel McLauchlan and Lizzie Arnot earned Rangers their first ever Scottish Cup triumph, and Docherty says the performance made them worthy champions.

"It feels amazing," she said.

"I'm incredibly proud of the players. This season we've built good foundations to work on for next season. Hearts came at us at the last bit but we found a way to win and that's why we're champions.

"This group is special, I love being part of the leadership group and credit to them.

"I still get goosebumps thinking about it [lifting a trophy with Rangers].

"I've been a Rangers fan since I was a young kid so to have moments like this it could bring a tear to my eye because I love this club and I love these people."
