Repayments of species then for Rangers. The side of Jo Potter, still smart of the way in which the competition was lost by Hibs, used their frustrations to put away a tasteless city in Glasgow in Hampden and put their name on the Scottish Cup.
Mia Mcaulay let the ball roll with a more open halfway through the first half before Kirsty how to score on both sides of the interval.
To make even worse, City ended the game with ten players on the field with defender Samantha van Diemen rejected after VAR intervened to upgrade a yellow card to red with ten minutes of the remains.
Rangers brought in a dominant, measured and clinical performance when they claimed the Scottish Gas Women's Scottish Cup, making it a competition cup and the Scottish Cup dubbel for Potter's side.
It will not be left the hangover by not claiming the SWPL title, but it will take the lead. The optics of the campaign is also changed by what the Trophy Cabinet now means.
The frustration for Potter will be that if her side had produced this kind of performance against Hibs in Ibrox last weekend, there is every chance that they would have erased a Treble.
That will be something for her to cross the summer, but the break now certainly looks much more attractive than it would have done if this had been a different result for Rangers.
For Glasgow City, as long as the dominant power in the women's game, these are now two consecutive seasons where they end with nothing to show for their efforts.
Their second place in the SWPL offers them access to the non-champions path of the Champions League, but their failure to put a glove on Rangers at Hampden will Rankle.
They missed conviction and belief when they had trouble putting themselves into play at any time.
Both teams were on their way to the National Stadium with a point to prove. There was a suspicion that Potter had the more difficult of the jobs in terms of picking up her players in the way the title of them slipped away.
By the time Mcaulay Rangers had put in the front, Potter's side had hit the woodwork twice.
It was a Portent that City had not taken into account, with Mcaulay attempting from the outside of the post in the opening phase before Kathy Hill had hit a header of the bar.
The opener came when Van Diemen brought the ball out of the defense, but her pass was cut away. Mcaulay avoided Claire Walsh's challenge before he spins a straight -footed diagonal effort in the bottom corner.
Gers Schipper Nicola Docherty was forced shortly after the opener. Bliggered in the first minutes after a collision with Amy Muir when both players hit, Docherty seemed to take a knee in the face and the full-back was forced, clearly upset about the way in which her afternoon was ended prematurely.
However, it did little to put Rangers of their pass.
City hit the bar through Natalia Wrobel before Rangers added a second.
Katie Wilkinson was the architect and hit a ball in the feet of how what. She brought it down, sent Van Diemen in the wrong way with a slight false wire before she turned around and drove a low effort than Lee Gibson.
It could have been a game for the Petershill side. Gibson was forced into a rescue after Mcaulay was allowed to break one on one, the stop spread to deny the teenager.
City tried to make its way in the game before the break, but their pressure came to nothing when Rangers went into the interval in the regular command.
The second period was still in its infancy when Rangers brought it to bed.
Chelsea Cornet broke through the backline of the city and celebrated the ball over the six-year box with how what moved in to beat Gibson.
City appealed to offside, but television images showed that Cornet was good when she ghosted behind her.
City's lack of calmness When they came to decent areas, all the hope they had to drag themselves back into the game. Nicole Kozlova should have just bursting when she was chosen in the box, but with the goal gaping, she became inexplicably her attempt wide of the target.
From there, Rangers went to the other side of the park and flirted with a fourth, with Gibson Mcaulay denying while the Ibrox side remained.
Despite all that Rangers were good on top, Potter remained sharp while she patroled her technical area constantly barking instructions.
Van Diemen's dismissal caused confusion in the stadium; VAR is not used on a large scale in the game for women and there was a long delay to check Van Diemen's mistake.
Rangers could have had more. Jane Ross, for her last appearance before she retires, selflessly squared for Rio Hardy who burned wildly when she had to bury it. Rangers didn't need it.
This week's post-match Huddle on the turf was completely smiling when they claimed the last piece of silverware of the season.
There will remain a permanent feeling of what could have been this season, but for the time being there was satisfaction.
