What’s been said after Celtic beat Rangers in League Cup final
The epic final has had plenty of people rave about Celtic beating Rangers as the fallout over the Hampden penalty shoot-out rages.
Brendan Rodgers was delighted as he said of Celtic beating Rangers, “It was an exciting game for the neutral to see. As I said, the goals at the end, but to come out the other side of it, the guys with the penalties were fantastic as well. Kasper makes the save and we pulled through in the end.
Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton instantly said of Celtic’s win, “Well played Celtic and Brendan Rodgers, absolutely relentless,” wrote Sutton. “Another moral victory maybe for Rangers though…”
Finally, Rangers boss Philippe Clement had a weird take on Celtic’s victory with a bitter penalty rant, “There’s also a penalty situation on Czerny. So it’s a weird one that the referee, at least, is not been asked to go to watch the monitor because we get a free kick at the edge of the box but his foot is on the line so it’s a clear penalty.
“At least it’s a discussion at least for the referee to take.”
No doubt there will be even more fresh takes over Celtic’s win as the Hampden fallout continues for the rest of next week.
