MATCH 1823 - Sunday 8 December 2019

 SEASON  2019/20

SCOTTISH LEAGUE CUP - FINAL 

Venue: HAMPDEN PARK

CELTIC  1  RANGERS  0

Scorer: Jullien

Celtic's fourth League Cup Final in a row and their 4th win thanks to a set piece goal from Frenchman Christopher Jullien.  Celtic went into the game understrength with all their recognised forwards out but at least Odsonne Edouard made the bench. 

Celtic were under the cosh for the entire match or at lease until Edouard came on midway through the second half and started making things happen.  Indeed he won the free kick which lead to Jullien's winning goal.

The hero for Celtic on the day was keeper, Fraser Forster who was the wall and thwarted Rangers all day long. 

After taking the lead Celtic conceded a penalty and were reduced to ten men as Jeremie Frimpong was sent off for the foul.  Once again Forster saved to deny the Glasgow opponents.

The final whistle sparked wild joyous scenes in the east end of Hampden.
