Carl Starfelt was delighted to get one of his 'best ever wins' over the line as Celtic came out on top against Rangers in the Viaplay Cup – claiming the feeling in Glasgow beforehand urged the squad to take the spoils.
A brace from Kyogo had Celtic in dreamland just before the hour mark at Hampden, though Alfredo Morelos' goal to halve the deficit put the Hoops under the cosh for a while. Starfelt, alongside Cameron Carter-Vickers and Joe Hart, kept Rangers at bay as best they could and managed to prevail victorious despite Sead Haksabanovic and Matt O'Riley missing gilt-edged chances at the other end.
It meant Michael Beale's unbeaten run as Rangers manager came to an end, whilst Ange Postecoglou won his second Scottish League Cup to keep his 100 per cent record in the competition alive after beating Hibs in the final last year. But for Starfelt, he named the triumph as one of his best ever wins – touching on interactions he had with fans in the city centre before the game, with excitement in the build-up playing a key part in winning silverware once more.
