Rangers are a good side … this group find a moment of quality and stick together … this is the first one in 22 years against Rangers so it’s special … I’m delighted … we turned up and we delivered again!”Celtic, it’s amazing … I do love it here but I’m still contracted with Norwich … who knows what’s going to happen?”Rangers were probably the better side in the second half but their final-third decision-making let them down. Celtic cavort. Half of Hampden is in raptures. The other half is quickly thinning out.Scottish Cup for the 42nd time! A 13th league-and-cup double!Celtic keep hold of the ball as the clock runs down.Rangers shirt.Rangers have nothing left. The Celtic fans en fête.Rangers still with 11 men, but time is not their friend.Rangers haven’t been brilliant. But they’ve probably been the better side in this second half. However the final ball’s been lacking, and Celtic have suckered them with a classic rope-a-dope attack!Rangers continue to look the stronger side and more likely to snatch a late winner. Wright spins Johnston and appears to have won a corner but the officials disagree. Goal kick, and smoke begins to pour from Wright’s lugs.Celtic attempt to launch a counter, and Yilmaz is booked for grabbing a handful of Johnston’s shirt.Rangers are beginning to dominate, with most of the play in Celtic’s half at the moment.Rangers? Nope. Hart punches, then Bernardo hoicks clear.Celtic box and barges down the inside-right channel. He whistles a low cross through the six-yard box. With Sima lurking, Carter-Vickers does exceptionally well to slide and knock the ball wide of the left-hand post. A corner, but it would have been so easy to put that into his own net.Celtic light at the back and on the back foot. Especially as nothing comes of the set piece.Celtic defence.
68 min: Forrest flies into a tackle and flips Raskin into the air. Another booking. “Donnybrook ahoy!” chirps Simon McMahon.
66 min: All of that has got the crowd going. Not that the denizens of Hampden were particularly quiet anyway. Incidentally, Hart was booked for dissent during the discussions over the goal, and Idah has gone in the book for similar reasons.
64 min: The resulting free kick comes to nothing. Idah – who has just been sent on by Brendan Rodgers, surprisingly in place of Kyogo – is caught offside.
