Celtic beat Rangers on penalties in League Cup final after six-goal thriller

Six goals, 10 penalties, 11 yellow cards and the unmistakable whiff of controversy. This was the rarest of things, an Old Firm epic at Hampden Park. For the first time, Celtic and Rangers required spot-kicks to be separated in the final of one of Scotland’s major competitions. Celtic found a way to win, endorsing this period of dominance, with their greatest foes understandably sore at coming away with nothing after their contribution to such a memorable fixture.

Technically, Ridvan Yilmaz was the Rangers fall guy. The Turkish full-back was the only player to miss during the shootout. Daizen Maeda slotted home to trigger Celtic celebrations, on account of collecting the one Scottish trophy that eluded them last season. A domestic treble has once again honed into view.
