Celtic 3-3 Rangers (5-4 pens): Daizen Maeda clinches Scottish League Cup victory with winning penalty for the Hoops

The winger came through in the clutch, scoring the decisive penalty in a thrilling 3-3 draw against their fierce rivals. Philippe Clement was once again unable to secure his first victory over the Old Firm opponents.

It was a drama-filled encounter as Greg Taylor made amends for gifting Nedim Bajrami the opener for Rangers by equalising after the break.

A clinical finish from Maeda put Celtic ahead again only for Mohamed Diomande to pull Rangers back level. Nicolas Kuhn thought he had wrapped up the win for Celtic, only for Gers' substitution Danilo to respond immediately to take the game to extra time.

Kasper Schmeichel denied Ridvan Yilmaz from the spot, with Maeda securing the win to maintain Brendan Rodgers' winning Hampden record and keep the Hoops on course for a domestic treble.
