Celtic extended their domestic dominance after being pushed to their absolute limit in a thrilling Scottish League Cup final derby against Rangers, a contest ultimately decided by penalties. Following six successful spot kicks in the shootout, Rangers’ Ridvan Yilmaz’s low effort was saved by Kasper Schmeichel. Although goalkeeper Jack Butland then netted the holders’ subsequent kick, Daizen Maeda converted his attempt to seal the trophy for Celtic. This triumph, secured after an epic 3-3 draw following extra time, extends Brendan Rodgers’ record of never having lost at Hampden and leaves Ibrox counterpart Philippe Clement still seeking his inaugural derby victory. The result also places Celtic ahead of their old rivals in terms of silverware accumulation for the first time since the 1930s.
