Daizen Maeda scored the decisive spot-kick as Celtic emerged 5-4 penalty shoot-out winners over Rangers after a Scottish League Cup final ended 3-3 after extra-time at Hampden Park.

Light Blues wide-man Nadim Baramin opened the scoring in the 41st minute after a mistake by Parkhead left-back Greg Taylor, who made amends in the 56th minute when his drive deflected in off Gers midfielder Nicolas Raskind, whose mistake cost Gers four minutes later as Maeda fired in a second for the Hoops.

The Ibrox side rallied and levelled in the 75th minute through Mohamed Diomande but when Nicolas Kuhn restored Celtic’s lead in the 87th minute the trophy looked Parkhead-bound, only for Gers substitute Danilo to level a minute later and take the game to extra-time.

After no more goals the game went to penalties and Hoops goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel gave Brendan Rodgers’ side the advantage by saving Ridvan Yilmaz’s effort before Maeda beat Jack Butland to take the trophy back to Parkhead.

Despite a valiant effort, it was another Celtic triumph and leaves Philippe Clement without a win in six Old Firm matches, while Celtic moved ahead on the historical trophy count - 119 to 118.

“Unbelievable pride. Relief to come through it because it’s about winning, not necessarily the performance. It’s so much pride to go and lift the trophy again,” says the Celtic skipper McGregor, now on his way to lifting the trophy.

Penalties - Celtic 3-3 Rangers (FT, AET)

Yilmaz is up now and Schmeichel is in his face again as he looks to put the ball on the spot. Left-footed and low.. SAVED!! Schmeichel gets down to palm it away beside the post! A bit of a scuffed effort in the end in truth.
