Celtic Take Comfortable Win In Last Meeting

Celtic have had the edge on their great rivals for some time and that continued with their 3-0 triumph over Rangers in September.

While the game was fairly even in terms of chances, Celtic always looked the more likely to win from when Daizen Maeda put them 1-0 ahead after 17 minutes.

Goals from Kyogo Furuhashi and Callum McGregor sealed a convincing victory.

While Celtic have a convincing 12-point lead over third-placed Rangers in the Scottish Premiership table, anything can happen in a one-off game like the Scottish League Cup final.
