Congratulations to Brendan Rodgers and the team for clinching their 119th trophy by winning the Premier Sports Scottish League Cup Final against Sevco at Hampden Park, Glasgow last night.
Celtic were admittedly poor, especially in the first half when they deserved to trail by a single goal due to a horrendous defensive mistake by Greg Taylor, fruitless boring back passing and general slow build up play.
The defender made up for his mistake early in the second half when his shot was deflected into the Sevco goal. This started off a five goal feast culminating in a 3-3 draw in regulation time. The match was devoid of goals in extra time.. Celtic won 5-4 on the lottery penalty shootout. The team were far from their best yet still pulled it off. Anything can happen in Cup Finals so I'm delighted with the victory.
Celtic FC now proudly boast of being the most successful football club in terms of trophy wins in Scotland, the United Kingdom and Europe. Their 119 silverware haul will hopefully be added to at some point of this 2024-2025 season.
