Celtic player ratings: Hoops reach Viaplay Cup Final for sixth time in seven seasons after gritty 2-0 win over Kilmarnock
The Hoops will return to Hampden Park on February 26 for another shot at glory in the competition.
Celtic remain on course to defend their Scottish League Cup trophy after battling past Kilmarnock 2-0 in challenging conditions at Hampden Park.
The driving rain and swirling wind made life difficult for both sides on a muddy playing surface, with Daizen Maeda and Giorgos Giakoumakis scoring the all important goals to ensure the Hoops passage through to the final back at the national stadium on February 2026.
Rangers or Aberdeen lie in wait, with both clubs coming head-to-head in the other semi-final tie tomorrow.

5. Reo Hatate - 6
A commanding presence in the middle of the park. Communicated with his team-mates well and was a calming figure. A real creative threat.
6. Callum McGregor - 7
Denied a crucial second goal early in the second half by VAR. Screwed an effort wide soon after before being replaced.
7. Aaron Mooy - 7
Displayed good composure on the ball and his free-kick led to Celtic’s opening goal. Really starting to find his feet in a Hoops jersey.
8. Felipe Jota - 6
A quiet game by his standards. Influential in the opening 45 minutes but faded after the break. Subbed.
