Anon: End of the road for Nicky Clark, Ricky Foster and Miller & Boyd. Celtic never got out of third gear.

Anon: Poor game, too easy for Celtic - hope Dundee United win.

Rangers caretaker boss Kenny McDowall

The first half was disappointing and the manner of the goals we gave away. The second half was better.

When you lose a goal in the manner we did then it unsettles everybody.

We just couldn't get anything on target and had a lot of play. It would've been nice to give them [the fans] a goal.

This was an opportunity to get to a cup final but it's gone.

Celtic manager Ronny Deila

I'm happy, very happy. Think we played well first half and scored two good goals. We maybe could've score a few more.

I'm proud of the boys and it's a very good achievement.

The pitch was so poor today that it was hard for passing; it's not good for Scottish football. To try to entertain our fans and be creative... that's way below the standard we should be playing on.

Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths

To score any goal in this game is important but to score so early settled everyone down.

I was very nervous before the game but the manager told me to calm down and do my thing.

We always knew Rangers would have a go in the second half but I don't think Craig Gordon has had a save to make in the second half.

Richard Humphries: Not sure what all the fuss was about. First in premier v third in championship, 2-0 is a standard result.

Robbie Devenney: I'd be OK not having this fixture again for at least another three years It does nothing but give Scottish football a bad image.

"We're happy, although if we lose the final it won't have been worth it," Celtic defender Mikael Lustig tell BBC Scotland's Sportsound.

"It's nice to get an early goal and in the second half we played the game out.

"We were the better team for 90 minutes and could've scored more goals."

Leigh Griffiths and Lee McCulloch share a handshake and a few words before the Rangers players head back up the tunnel and the Celtic players enjoy the acclaim their fans.

Celtic secure victory and book their place in the Scottish League Cup final against Dundee United. Rangers toiled to create anything of note to trouble Craig Gordon as the first meeting between these sides since 2012 fizzled out in the second half.

Another melee! Celtic skipper Scott Brown is booked for a challenge on Ian Black that sparked fury among Rangers ranks.

MBehan: Very poor pitch & game & referee #bbcscotfootball

Three minutes of added time at Hampden as both sides appear to have mentally downed tools and are ready to spirit themselves up the tunnel after a flat second 45 minutes.

Nir Biton slaloms past a couple of Rangers challenges but the Celtic midfielder skews his shot well wide of goal.

John Guidetti attempts to nab Celtic's third with an audacious overhead kick but the ball slides the wrong side of the post with the offside flag raised in any case.

It's taken 84 minutes... but we have our first melee of the cup tie as Lee McCulloch clashes with John Guidetti. Referee Craig Thomson restores calm and we're back under way.

Anon: The playing surface is a disgrace at the national stadium. Get you act together SFA!!

Stephen Hay: Celtic not even trying to get forward, but Rangers can't put any pressure on them. The ref should just call it.

Celtic substitute James Forrest plays a one-two with Kris Commons but flights his effort over the bar. Nicky Clark comes on for Kenny Miller as Rangers seek a late spark to this cup tie.

This is being beamed round the world. Oh dear...

Kenny McDowell and Ian Durrant cut forlorn figures in the Rangers dugout and there's been precious little to cheer the club's fans.
