Celtic Secures Scottish Cup Victory Over Rangers

Celtic clinched victory over their Glasgow rivals Rangers, securing a 1-0 win in the Scottish Cup final on Saturday. Adam Idah emerged as the hero with a 90th-minute goal, sealing a league and cup double for Celtic.

The decisive moment came from an error as Jack Butland fumbled Paulo Bernardo’s shot, allowing Idah to capitalize with his ninth goal of the season on loan from Norwich.

Speaking after the match, Idah expressed his delight, stating, “I said I’d come here to try and score as many goals as I could, I didn’t think I’d score a goal like this in front of all these fans. It’s an amazing feeling.”

Rangers believed they had taken the lead earlier in the second half, but a VAR review ruled out Abdallah Sima’s goal due to a foul on Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart.

Despite not being at their best, Celtic maintained their unbeaten record against Rangers this season, securing direct qualification for the Champions League by winning the Scottish Premiership.

The victory also added to Brendan Rodgers’ impressive Scottish Cup record, extending his unbeaten streak to 17 matches. With this win, Celtic leveled with Rangers in total trophies, marking a significant milestone in their historic rivalry.

The head-to-head between the clubs now stands at 169 wins each, with 103 draws, further intensifying the age-old competition between Celtic and Rangers.
