Daizen Maeda was Celtic's penalty hero as they beat holders Rangers to win the League Cup in a frantic final at Hampden Park that finished 3-3 after extra time.
The winger scored the winning spot kick after scoring in a dramatic encounter as Philippe Clement was left still searching for his first win against their Old Firm rivals.
It was a drama-filled encounter as Greg Taylor made amends for gifting Nedim Bajrami the opener for Rangers by equalising after the break.
A clinical finish from Maeda put Celtic ahead again only for Mohamed Diomande to pull Rangers back level. Nicolas Kuhn thought he had wrapped up the win for Celtic, only for Gers' substitution Danilo to respond immediately to take the game to extra time.
Kasper Schmeichel denied Ridvan Yilmaz from the spot, with Maeda securing the win to maintain Brendan Rodgers' winning Hampden record and keep the Hoops on course for a domestic treble.
