Holders Rangers have lost the Scottish Cup semi-final against rivals Celtic at Hampden Park, with Portuguese attacker Jota scoring the only goal of the game for the Hoops.
It was a high tempo first-half and the Ibrox side managed to contain their opponents’ key players like Kyogo Furuhashi and Jota. However, one lapse of concentration was punished just before the interval when the latter pounced to head past goalkeeper Allan McGregor from close range.
Rangers improved in the second-half as they searched for a leveller, with substitute Scott Arfield and James Tavernier both going close to an equaliser.
However, Michael Beale’s side fell short in their bid to avoid a trophy-less season and their campaign is now effectively over, with Celtic one victory away from clinching the Scottish Premiership title and one win away from a domestic treble.
