Overview
- Celtic beat Rangers 3–1 after extra time at Hampden, with Callum McGregor and Callum Osmand scoring after Johnny Kenny’s opener.
- Referee Nick Walsh sent off Thelo Aasgaard for a high challenge on Anthony Ralston, then booked Auston Trusty for catching Jack Butland on the head, with both incidents checked by VAR.
- Rangers forced extra time when Anthony Ralston was penalised for handball on a Djeidi Gassama shot and James Tavernier converted the penalty.
- Record Sport reports Rangers will contact SFA head of refereeing Willie Collum over the Trusty decision, as pundits and a refereeing analyst called the Celtic defender fortunate to avoid a red card.
