The Scottish champions battled to a 1-0 victory over the Light Blues thanks to Adam Idah's last-gasp winner
Brendan Rodgers toasted a Double as his jubilant Celtic side snatched Scottish Cup glory over Rangers thanks to Adam Idah’s last-gasp Hampden winner.
Most of Clement’s headaches were fitness based, with question marks over defenders Leon Balogun and Ridvan Yilmaz. In truth, the big Belgian had no choice but to roll the dice and hope both would come through the game, otherwise risk chucking in kids Leon King and Robbie Fraser. At the other end, Reo Hatate took a swing at a loose ball - only for Ben Davies to produce a big block with his coupon. The Celtic end erupted in unison to cry penalty 23 minutes in when a Kyogo header bounced off Davies’ arm from point-blank range.
It wouldn't be an Old Firm without a bit of needle and there were bookings for Greg Taylor for a bit of verbals on Cantwell, who was carded himself a couple of minutes later as he responded with a shove on the Celtic defender before being subbed off. RODGERS JUST KEEPS WINNING Rodgers’ reputation in this fixture was already secured, but it was crucial for Clement to try and prove he could get the big result against the Celtic manager after three previous failures. Getting to half-time without conceding was a first and so was being level at the interval.
FORREST AND McGREGOR Celtic had trophy-winning experience in the shape of captain McGregor and Forrest. McGregor influence was clear as he hounded Scales for chipping an aimless ball just as Celtic had exchanged passes in a slick first-half move and the captain had plenty of occasions in the opening period when he had bags of room.
