Thanks to a brace from Japan’s Kyogo Furuhashi, Celtic reaffirmed the Scottish League Cup on Sunday, beating arch-rivals Rangers 2-1 in the final at Hampden Park.
The Japanese World Cup player, a former Vissel Kobe player, sealed the game with his goals in the 44th and 56th minutes, as Rangers could only close the gap with a goal from Colombian Alfredo Morelos (m.64).
The team led by Australian Ange Postecoglou knows how to maintain their advantage in the final stage, where the coach Michael Beale, who went 15 games unbeaten in charge of Rangers, He decided to replace Morelos with the Croatian Antonio Colak with a quarter of an hour to go, infuriating the coffee striker.
Celtic won their twenty-first title in this competition, where they have won six of the last seven editions and are close to Rangers, who won 27, the last in 2011.
