Full-time: Celtic 3-1 Rangers (aet)
Celtic are through to the League Cup final but boy did they have to work hard! Rangers were already trailing to Johnny Kenny’s opener when Thelo Aasgaard was shown a straight red for a challenge on Anthony Ralston.
Danny Röhl didn’t compromise and his team fought on, forcing a penalty with 10 minutes to go when Ralston was penalised for handball. James Tavernier sent the tie to extra time but Celtic made the most of their man advantage.
Callum McGregor’s thunderous strike saw them regain the lead and substitute Callum Osmand finally got the goal his performance deserved when he converted Kieran Tierney’s cross to put the tie beyond doubt.

118 min: Balikwisha finds Tierney, whose shot is blocked to cries of handball. Celtic are taking plenty of time over restarting the game.
Share
117 min: Forrest almost picks out Balikwisha in a dangerous position. Gassama is now being booed with every touch.
Share
116 min: Trusty soldiers on. Rangers try to give the ball back to Schmeichel after Celtic kicked it out but Gassama is having none of it. He chases it down but is stopped in his tracks. Ralston, understandably, takes issue with this. That would have been controversial.
Share
114 min: Trusty has a convenient touch of cramp and needs his leg stretching. The game looks up for Rangers now.
Share
113 min: Osmand is causing all sorts of trouble for Rangers. Forrest is penalised for what looked like a great challenge on Moore – O’Neill goes mad on the touchline. Just like old times.
Share
111 min: O’Neill sends on Balikwisha for Maeda. Celtic have a proper cushion now.

GOAL! Celtic 3-1 Rangers (Osmand 109)
Callum Osmand’s first goal for Celtic surely sends them into the final! Tierney whips a cross into the corridor of uncertainty and the 19-year-old former Fulham youngster flings himself at it and diverts it into an empty net. He kisses the badge in the celebration. A dream moment!

To immediately go down a goal and now need to chase for 30 minutes after all the effort to make it to extra time. My legs would rebel.
Even if they come away beaten, Danny Röhl and Rangers will earn tremendous credit for their attitude in this game.

98 min: Osmand has another chance from the corner but can’t guide an awkward header on target.

Butland might be disappointed with that. It wasn’t in the corner – he may claim he was unsighted.
