Rangers B triumph over Celtic in Glasgow Cup shootout after two Hoops first team injuries and full time rammy

Rangers B stormed into the Glasgow Cup Final after beating Celtic 5-4 on penalties.

And it was rising star Charlie McCann who smashed home the winning spot kick after Ben Wylie's effort was denied by Lewis Budinauckas.

He was a man on a mission in the first half, coming close from a free-kick just minutes after his opener.

But with about 10 minutes to go until the break Ross McCausland produced the leveller with a fine finish on the volley from the edge of the area.

On a warm spring afternoon at Auchenhowie the game was halted time after time for a succession of injuries but Celtic fans will have been glad to note that Jullien wasn't required to go off.

Wide man Dembele then lit up the semi-final, tearing down the right side before squaring for Ben Summers, who was able to slide the ball under home keeper Budinauckas.

But Rangers responded once more as Cole McKinnon levelled it up again and the tie looked destined for penalties as Dembele was replaced by Rocco Vata in the final moments.

And it was McCann who calmly slotted into the bottom corner after Wylie's critical miss, with Hoops keeper Tobi Oluwayemi upset at something in the aftermath of the
