Ayr United's ladies put in a valiant effort against Celtic but the Premier League club eventually ran out 7-0 winners in their big Scottish Cup clash.
In front of an impressive crowd of 762 at Cumnock's Townhead Park, Ayr's women took on the visitors from two divisions above.
Boasting international stars including Amy Gallacher, Ayr limited the Glasgow side to a 2-0 lead at half time.
A valiant effort today but in the end Celtic were just too strong.

However, Celtic's quality shone through in the end and five further goals after the break put seven on the board for the visitors.
An Ayr United spokesperson said: "A big thank you to everyone in attendance and we hope to see you back at Townhead Park again soon!"
Fellow Ayrshire side Kilmarnock also fell to defeat in the cup, losing out to a late extra-time strike in their game against Hamilton after a 2-2 draw during normal time.
