    Ange Postecoglou is a hard man to please.

    The Celtic boss has just thrown his arms up after Joe Hart took too long to roll the ball out. It's no wonder his team are so relentless.

    A let off for Mark Ridgers as a blunder from the keeper gifts Celtic possession. It's Matt O'Riley who takes aim with the shot but Ridgers holds on with a diving catch.

    Inverness have taken part in the final and the tactics have been good.

    Billy Dodds can be happy overall, but not with the second goal. It's poor defending.

    You see Premiership teams playing against Celtic and they just don't take part. They can hold their heads high, but there's no coming back from that.

  8. 'Dangerous time for Caley Thistle'published at 18:58 British Summer Time 3 June 2023

    This is dangerous for Caley Thistle. They have to get a goal to try and get back into this game but doing that, they'll leave gaps for Celtic.

    Celtic will get another lift from the goal, the intensity and speed will go up.

    Nifty footwork from Jota and Scott Allardice is booked for impeding the Celtic winger out by the touchline.

    That's Postecoglou's Celtic all over.

    Looks like there's going to be a foul given, but they play on. Two passes later, it's a goal. Lethal.

    Celtic exploit the space. The Inverness players have committed themselves into their challenges and it leaves space in behind for Celtic.

    It gives them that all important second goal.

    It's a tremendous goal. There are two fouls in the build up but Celtic play it quick, they keep going and it's what Abada does so well - coming in from the right-hand side. We see it time and again.

    It's a goal that we're so used to seeing from Celtic. It comes because they want to keep playing.

    Kyogo is so consistent. His movement is exceptional. He's loved here and no wonder. What a player he is. He's so important for this Celtic side.

    It changes it a little for Celtic, with Oh coming on. He's more physical, totally different player to Kyogo. It gives them a target to hit.

    Job done, Kyogo. The Japan forward was touch and go whether he would start this.

    He can't be fully fit, but he's on course to be the difference-maker again at Hampden.

    Former Scotland forward on BBC Scotland

    Celtic are starting to find the gaps behind the Caley Thistle defence, they're dragging Inverness out of shape.

    It's the midfield that is causing problems. O'Riley and Hatate are starting a bit higher, and Welsh and Allardice are doing a double shift because they're also trying to cover the wide man. That's leaving gaps.

  20. Oh on for Kyogopublished at 59 mins

    A warm ovation from the fans and a big hug from the manager as Kyogo makes his way off.

    He was a doubt for this game, but the gamble in starting him paid off.
