Unlikely hero as senior man has a shocker: Three things we learned from Celtic win v Motherwell
COMMENT
Celtic retained the Betfred Cup with a 2-0 victory over Motherwell in today’s final at Hampden Park.
The game was fairly even in the first-half, with few chances created by either side.
The second-half was a different story though, as Celtic took the lead with a fine strike by James Forrest.
The game suddenly burst into life as Craig Gordon pulled off a superb save to deny Louis Moult.
Referee Craig Thompson then took centre stage as he sent-off Motherwell’s Cedric Kipre for an alleged foul on Scott Sinclair in the penalty box.
Moussa Dembele made it 2-0 from the penalty spot and the game was over as a meaningful contest.
Celtic then missed a few chances to increase the scoreline as Motherwell tired, with Leigh Griffiths hitting the post and then heading over the bar.
