Rangers 0-1 Celtic: 10-man Bhoys win 10 trophies in a row after Morelos pen miss

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.
