Celtic built on last season's treble-treble with a 10th successive major trophy by pipping a dominant Rangers 1-0 in a smash-and-grab Scottish League Cup final at Hampden Park.
Rangers completely dominated the first half, with Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster in fine form to tip away Ryan Jack's powerful effort from outside the box and deny a lively Alfredo Morelos three times.
Christopher Jullien broke the deadlock shortly after the interval, volleying in Ryan Christie's free-kick, albeit seemingly from a narrowly offside position.
Despite the goal, the Rangers pressure continued and Morelos wasted a glorious chance to equalise when he saw a penalty saved after he was fouled clumsily by Jeremie Frimpong, who received a red card for the challenge.
But 10-man Celtic held on doggedly, marshalled by goalscorer Jullien and inspired by the superb Forster, as they withstood a late Rangers onslaught to clinch their 10th domestic trophy. Rangers, meanwhile, will reflect on this as a huge missed opportunity, having gone without a trophy since 2011.

I’ve thought about this since the result of the game, and my feelings are a mixture of disappointment and anger. The disappointment is of course that we lost, while the anger is for the fact that we had so many chances, but simply couldn’t score, then Celtic go up the other end and score a set piece, which was proven to be offside. Then we had the chance to eqaulise, and Morelos couldn’t score a penalty. That’s just football I suppose
