Celtic showed their championship mettle by emerging victorious over Rangers in the League Cup final at Hampden on Sunday.
Under the guidance of Brendan Rodgers, Celtic has consistently produced top-quality performances this season, leading the way in the Premiership and impressing in the Champions League. Despite their nine-point lead at the top of the table, the League Cup final proved to be a challenging test for Celtic.
From the very start to the end of extra time, Celtic faced difficulties against Rangers, falling behind and allowing their opponents to come back into the game on two occasions. The match evolved into a chaotic Glasgow derby, but in the end, Callum McGregor lifted the trophy, solidifying Celtic’s status as dominant forces in Scottish football.
According to Willie Miller, Celtic remains the best team in the country, boasting the finest players and the strongest squad. The club has been at the forefront of Scottish football for over a decade and continues to prove their superiority.
Despite a mixed performance in the final, McGregor played a key role in Celtic’s success, contributing to Daizen Maeda’s crucial third goal. With each trophy won, McGregor climbs higher on Celtic’s list of most decorated players, currently at number 23. Notably, McGregor has never lost a final, a remarkable achievement as described by Miller as ‘quite sensational.’
In conclusion, Celtic’s triumph over Rangers in the League Cup final further cements their position as the best team in Scotland, showcasing their resilience, skill, and championship pedigree.
