Glasgow Cup Final
Celtic 1, Rangers 3
RANGERS secured victory for the fourth year in a row over old rivals
Celtic in the Glasgow Cup after having to come from behind, watched by a
bumper crowd of 5500.
Winger Steven Boyack had a hand in all three goals and must be
considered a star of the future, while first-team regular Craig Moore,
whose equaliser brought Rangers level, put his experience to good use in
central defence.
It was Celtic who struck first in 27 minutes with a stunning goal from
Michael Craig. After Moore had fouled Paul Dalglish, son of Kenny, Craig
stepped up and rocketed home the free kick from 25 yards.
Rangers, who had a strong penalty claim turned down when Lee Dair
tumbled in the box, struck back in first-half injury time. Boyack
curling a free kick on to the head of Moore, who despatched it home in
great style.
With 17 minutes left, Boyack secured victory when he set up two goals
in less than a minute.
First his driving run and pass released Paul McShane, who cut inside
his marker before firing home. Less than 60 seconds later he skipped to
the bye-line, where his driven cross was turned home by Dair.
Celtic centre half Jim Slaven was sent off in the last minute and
promising striker Marc Anthony had three bones in his foot broken to
round off a miserable afternoon for the Parkhead team.
