Celtic go through to the final of the Scottish League Cup with a 2-0 win over fierce rivals Rangers at Hampden Park.

Celtic are through to the final of the Scottish League Cup courtesy of a 2-0 win over fierce rivals Rangers at Hampden Park.

Goals from Kris Commons and Leigh Griffiths were enough for the Bhoys, who dominated proceedings throughout in the first Old Firm clash for nearly three years.

The game began at a frantic pace and it was Griffiths who gave Celtic the lead after 10 minutes when he met Stefan Johansen's cross with a fine header.

Griffiths was at it again minutes later, but this time he could only direct Mikael Lustig's delivery wide of the post.

Commons extended Celtic's advantage shortly after the half-hour mark when he latched onto a loose ball to hammer home from the edge of the box.

Vrigil van Dijk spurned a great chance to make it 3-0 before Steve Simonsen denied Johansen by saving with his legs.

Griffiths almost grabbed his second of the game after the break when he fizzed in a free kick from around 25 yards.

James Forest linked up nicely with Griffiths with around 10 minutes remaining, but he could only scoop the cutback over the bar as the Bhoys pressed to extend their advantage, but two was enough in the end.
