We asked for your views on Celtic’s win against Rangers in the Scottish league cup.
Here’s what some of you said:
Peter: Not our best performance but still, it’s trophy 119. A sign of a good team is digging out results when not playing well. Players gave everything. Great to see wee James Forrest get his 25th major title. What are the odds of him getting to 27 by May 2025? Onwards and upwards.
Steven: Celtic miles off the pace first half especially, defensive errors across the park. Rescued by our talented wingers Nicolas Kuhn and the ice-cold Daizen Maeda. Lots of lessons for Brendan Rodgers for the upcoming New Year trip across the city.
Michael: Cup final football, Celtic know how to stay calm and get the job over the line as they have dominated the Scottish game for the best part of 15 years. Rangers played well but don’t have the winning mentality.
Stephen: In the first half Celtic were very poor, in the second half we only really played our real football for 15 minutes. The bottom line is, Celtic were nowhere near their best and still won
Michael: We didn’t push them hard enough, too much playing backwards when we had the pace to get at them. Still, we’ll take the win. Well done Celtic, a great win, showed great strength and determination.
Hugh: It was a compelling and entertaining game and one of the most competitive Old Firm finals ever. However, let’s not get too carried away; Rangers played to their maximum potential and fell short, Celtic underperformed but again found a way to win. The next two transfer windows could determine who will be the dominant force for the next few years.
John: Cameron Carter-Vickers = player of the match. Four-vs-one? Not a problem. Tough game, Rangers are back playing better, they silenced Callum McGregor, and they silenced Kyogo but still can’t silence Daizen Maeda.
