“Why Rangers were rightly not given a penalty vs Celtic Revealed…
Celtic secured another victory at Hampden Park against Rangers, adding yet another trophy to their collection.
This Scottish League Cup win marked Brendan Rodgers’ tenth as Celtic manager, following a thrilling 3-3 draw that went to extra time.
The match ultimately came down to a penalty shootout, where Kasper Schmeichel played the decisive role by saving a penalty.
Celtic were flawless from the spot, converting all five of their penalties, while Rangers’ Ridvan Yilmaz saw his attempt saved by Schmeichel.
As a result, the Danish goalkeeper became the hero of the night, while Rangers were left to reflect on another disappointing final.
However, Rangers can take some solace from the fact that they pushed Celtic to the limit, something that has become rare in recent encounters.
A penalty incident during the match sparked debate, with many Rangers fans believing their side should have been awarded a penalty after Liam Scales’ foul. But was that really the case?
Paul John Dykes explained that Scales was penalized for an initial foul outside the box, and the shirt-pulling was a separate infringement. Ultimately, Rangers had their share of favorable decisions throughout the match, and Celtic fans would likely have voiced complaints if the roles were reversed. Such is the nature of football.
What truly matters, however, is the result. On the night, Celtic lifted the trophy, while Rangers were left to search for answers. It was a tight contest, but it’s worth noting that Celtic weren’t at their best, yet still managed to secure a win in a cup final against their fiercest rivals.
