Mark Wilson reckons Celtic's League Cup triumph was won in the midfield battle with Michael Beale getting his big call wrong at Hampden.
The Rangers boss opted to leave January signings Nicolas Raskin and Todd Cantwell on the bench and call on Malik Tillman and John Lundstram from the start. Both missed the win over Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena the week before the Old Firm showdown and had only come through a couple days training prior to the showpiece.
Both new recruits have made promising starts to life in Govan and have shown enough but the Ibrox gaffer opted to put his trust elsewhere. It was a decision in the end that backfired with his changes coming too late in the game. Ex-Celtic star Wilson belives his former club claimed victory due to their domination in the middle of the park.
