Celtic's Daizen Maeda clinches victory with winning penalty in dramatic Scottish League Cup final against Rangers

Daizen Maeda emerged as Celtic's penalty hero in a thrilling League Cup final against reigning champions Rangers at Hampden Park. The match ended in a dramatic 3-3 draw after extra time, with Celtic eventually prevailing in the penalty shootout.

The winger scored the winning spot kick after scoring in a dramatic 3-3 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.
