GLASGOW (Reuters) - Celtic beat rivals Rangers 2-1 at Hampden Park on Sunday to lift a 21st Scottish League Cup title, as Japanese forward Kyogo Furuhashi repeated his heroics from last season's final with a brace.
Furuhashi, who also scored twice in a 2-1 win over Hibernian in last season's final, missed a gilt-edged opportunity to put Celtic ahead in the 42nd minute, sending a header over the bar.
Rangers stepped up the pace after the interval and Ryan Kent hit the post early on in the second half, but it was Celtic who scored again, with Furuhashi tapping in from a Reo Hatate assist. "It means the world to me. Time after time, you're tasked to win at this club," Celtic captain Callum McGregor told the BBC."This is a special group. We can do both sides of the game. Listen to this place. It's rocking."
