But it was the Hoops who had the better chances to seal the trophy in the closing stages as McGregor denied Matt O’Riley and Sead Haksabanovic fired wide. Furuhashi missed his first couple of chance of the game as Allan McGregor rushed from his line to block before Celtic’s talisman headed a glorious opportunity over. “We’ve worked awfully hard for a very long time and part of the process of working hard is to get rewarded for it at some point so that you can keep working hard, and the boys got the reward today, which I thought was well-deserved for them.

Rangers were seeking its first trophy in this competition since 2010-2011, but on a pitch that looked better suited to battle than football, it was the men in green and white hoops that had the better attacking ammunition.
