  1. Celtic 2-1 Rangers

    With Ridvan Yilmaz sent off after that second Celtic goal went in, Rangers make another change as Dujon Sterling enters the fray.

    Jefte and Leon Balogun are the Rangers players to depart.

  2. Celtic pressure pays handsomely

    Martin Dowden
    BBC Sport Scotland at Hampden

    Celtic's leveller had all sorts of fortune. What it brought was a platform for a complete turnaround.

    Brendan Rodgers' side simply swarmed their opponents and that pressure paid off. They deserve all the credit for that as they were in some amount of trouble.

    Rangers' heads must be rocking right now. They had this final in their hands and it has slipped dramatically.

  3. 'Rangers losing shape'

    Celtic 2-1 Rangers

    Billy Dodds
    Former Rangers striker at Hampden

    Rangers are now playing open with no discipline and that's what Celtic want.

  4. 'Flipped it right around'

    Celtic 2-1 Rangers

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper at Hampden

    Whatever Brendan Rodgers said at half-time, they've flipped it right around. What Rangers were doing in the first half - catching Celtic out - Celtic have done exactly the same to Rangers.

    Poor defensive work. Maeda sharp as a tack, getting there, winning the ball and showing real composure, great control and then the finish past Jack Butland. I didn't see that coming so quickly.

  5. Celtic 2-1 Rangers

    Mohamed Diomande collapses in a heap in the Celtic box and, for a second, it looks like John Beaton is pointing at the penalty spot, but the referee is signalling for an earlier foul to the defending team.

  6. 'Magnificent from Maeda'

    Celtic 1-1 Rangers

    Neil Lennon
    Former Celtic manager on Premier Sports

    The touch is brilliant. How's the finish? It's magnificent from Maeda.

    The big players have turned up in the big moments.

  7. goal

    GOAL Celtic 2-1 Rangers

    Daizen Maeda

    What a turnaround!

    More poor defending as Nico Raskin is short with a header back to Leon Balogun and that allows Daizen Maeda to nip in, speed away and finish in style.

  8. 'Taylor goes from villain to hero

    Celtic 1-1 Rangers

    Billy Dodds
    Former Rangers striker at Hampden

    It's blown it wide open. Taylor going from villain to hero in a split second. Celtic were just showing signs. They were pushing and they eventually get that breakthrough.

  9. Celtic 1-1 Rangers

    Jack Butland has to look lively to stop a Reo Hatate shot at the near post.

  10. Celtic 1-1 Rangers

    Celtic tails are up as their fans roar them on. Callum McGregor has a lash, with his shot whizzing high and wide.

  11. 'Igamane sleeping'

    Celtic 1-1 Rangers

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper at Hampden

    Igamane maybe going to sleep on the edge of the box, not doing his job. It comes off Raskin and Butland has no chance. That's when you want the boys on the edge of the box to just to be sharp, know what they're doing, don't go to sleep.

  12. goal

    GOAL Celtic 1-1 Rangers

    Greg Taylor

    Greg Butland uses his foot to save an effort from Kyogo but is then beaten from the following corner.

    The ball breaks to Greg Taylor near the edge of the box and the Celtic full-back's shot takes a big deflection to leave Butland flatfooted.

  13. 'Rangers' confidence building'

    Celtic 0-1 Rangers

    Alan Hutton
    Former Rangers defender on Premier Sports

    You can see the confidence that's building within Rangers.

  14. 'Chance squandered'

    Celtic 0-1 Rangers

    Billy Dodds
    Former Rangers striker at Hampden

    Celtic are rocked. It's Taylor again caught in possession. You've just got make a pass there. Cerny robs him and then they get a four v two situation, which soon becomes a four v one. If the right pass is picked it's Rangers two up. Bajrami, he's squandered an unbelievable good opportunity.

  15. Celtic 0-1 Rangers

    A Rangers corner is headed away by Liam Scales and drops for Hamza Igamane but the shot flies high over the top.

  16. Celtic 0-1 Rangers

    Another Greg Taylor mistake leads to a Rangers break. There are four blue shirts to one in green and white at the edge of the box but they can't find a way to test Kasper Schmeichel.

  17. CLOSE!

    Celtic 0-1 Rangers

    Leon Balogun catches Kyogo on the ankle. Paulo Bernardo swings the free-kick in and Liam Scales glances a header wide by a foot or so.

  18. 'Celtic playing into Rangers' hands'

    Celtic 0-1 Rangers

    Alan Hutton
    Former Rangers defender on Premier Sports

    At certain times Celtic are just playing into Rangers' hands.

    If you keep giving Rangers these opportunities, they're going to jump all over it.

  19. 'Sloppy from Celtic'

    Celtic 0-1 Rangers

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper at Hampden

    Giving the ball away again, Celtic. That's been a theme. You can't afford to give another goal away by giving the ball away.

  20. Celtic 0-1 Rangers

    A slick move from Celtic takes them from one end of the pitch to the other but Ianis Hagi does well to track the run of Paulo Bernardo and snuffs out the danger.
