Jota fires Celtic to the brink of Treble as final nail hammered into Rangers season – 5 talking points

Celtic kept their Treble dream alive as they hammered a final nail into rivals Rangers' season – with Jota was the Hampden hero with the only goal of the Scottish Cup semi-final to set up a meeting with Inverness Caley Thistle.

And the victory makes it six games undefeated for Ange Postecoglou in a run stretching back a full year to the defeat in the last four of the competition last season. Michael Beale is now without a victory over the Hoops in four games since taking over the Ibrox helm and can now only look forward to that summer rebuild.

Rangers dominated but couldn't find the net and had an early chance when Nicolas Raskin had a pop but his shot was deflected wide.

In fact, it took until midway through the first half for the first shot on target - Allan McGregor beating away Alistair Johnston’s effort.
