Celtic v Rangers live: Chaotic Scottish League Cup semi-final decided in extra-time

Here’s that final goal from Callum Osmand then!-

“We put a lot of effort into the game. With 10 men we knew that we’d have to dig deep. Even coming in at half-time we felt we could get ourselves back in the game,” says Rangers captain James Tavernier.

“We tried to limit chances, we get the penalty, get ourselves back into it, rode the waves of attack

“In extra-time we believed that we could win the game, but we just lacked that clinical edge in both boxes today. We created good chances, and we weren’t clinical enough.

“We need to be a little bit more streetwise as well, but no excuses, we fell short, but [there are] positives.

“He’s said with Thelo’s [red card], it’s the force of how he’s gone into the challenge, he’s not really seen Ralston come for the ball, but with Jack [Butland] diving on the floor, he’s already got the ball and he gets kicked in the head, no matter what the intent is, it’s still intent, and you can’t kick a goalkeeper in the head,” he says on the potential red for Trusty.

“It’s disappointing but it’s up to us to react to moments, I thought we reacted quite well, but it’s the small margins in these games,” he adds.

The final will take place on 14 December at Hampden Park then.

Celtic will be looking to win a 23rd League Cup in Glasgow, having won last year in a dramatic shootout against Rangers.

St Mirren have won the cup once, in 2012/13.

"We showed a lot of spirit and resilience," says Rangers head coach Danny Rohl to BBC Scotland.

"We really thought we could beat them, even with 10 men. We were not sitting back and waiting, we were brave in the second half and I thought the equaliser was deserved.

"It was important to see the reaction after the red card and it was outstanding.

"We have to talk about what we can improve but there are many positives to take forward."

"It's not my job to speak about decisions on the pitch. I just focus on my team,” he adds regarding the question of whether Celtic could themselves have seen two red cards.

“I’ve come in, we’ve got a couple of young players and serial winners in there, and the backroom staff for me were terrific,” adds O’Neill, saying that he didn’t enjoy the game “for one minute”.

“If we had not won the game and gone to penalties, he might have been on the treatment table,” he jokes regarding Osmond’s missed chance before scoring.

“He’s sharp, he’s got plenty of confidence!” he adds.

“I don’t even know when the final is,” he jokes when asked whether he might be in the role then.

“I think the club will probably be making inroad into getting someone in.

“Today, no,” he replies when asked whether he might stay!

Interim Celtic boss Martin O’Neill is the latest to speak to Premier Sports, and he

“I was 73 on Monday, I’m 94 now,” he jokes.

“Delighted to have won the game, thought we played splendidly when 11 v 11. Rangers had a good spell 10 v 11 where they controlled the game for a while, but we missed some great chances and if we had taken them...well [anyway], we won, and that was it,” he sighs in relief.

“It was end-to-end, but there was part of me that enjoyed that. But listen, it’s the way they go, and sometimes when I thought we’d have a break, Kasper [Schmeichel] tosses it out!”

Goalscorer Callum Osmand says that “there are no words” to describe the feeling today.

“It’s one of those moments that just don’t happen! I’m so grateful, it’s an amazing feeling, there’s nothing better.

“You get those points, but they build you as a player, those moments where I’m not in the squad, it’s painful, but they create you as a player and prepared me for these moments, and I just have to take it, so really happy.

On O’Neill, he says: “From day one he spoke to me, asaid he thinks really highly of me, and that gives you the boost you need. He’s given me the confidence, the trust, that’s all you need.

“It only takes one person to push you on and hopefully this is just the start for me, but I’ve got to keep pushing on.

“Like I said, no words to describe today, there’s nothing that can top this other than scoring in the final!” he adds.

“He [O’Neill] wants me to play my game, do my thing,” says Auston Trusty.

“I’m making up for lost time, I got injured, but I had great guys around me so I can thrive. Every game is a chance,” he adds.

Celtic captain Callum McGregor calls the result “huge” as he says he’s “really proud” after “a difficult week”.

“From me, a massive thank you to the players,” he adds.

“I found myself in a bit of space and just hit it, if you don’t shoot you don’t score,” he explains on the goal.

“Once we got the goal we settled ourselves and played, and Osmand got the [final] goal in the end.

“We’re in another final and we have to earn the right to play when we get there as well, so it’s nit job done by any stretch,” he adds.
