AdminCeltic Refuse to Let Rangers’ Penalty Complaints Dampen Their Premier Sports Cup Final Celebrations
Celtic are basking in the glory of their Premier Sports Cup final win over Rangers on Sunday, and they’re not about to let their rivals’ penalty complaints rain on their parade. While Rangers are still fuming about the VAR decision that went against them, Celtic are too busy celebrating their 119th major honor, which puts them one ahead of Rangers in the all-time list.
The match was a thrilling encounter, with both teams creating numerous scoring opportunities. However, it was Celtic who ultimately emerged victorious, winning the match 3-2 in a penalty shootout after the game had ended 3-3 after extra time.
Celtic players were spotted partying at the PDC World Darts Championships on Monday, where they proudly displayed a hand-written sign reading “119” – a cheeky dig at their Ibrox rivals. Midfielder Paulo Bernardo, who started the final before being substituted in the second half, said that the team hasn’t paid any attention to the VAR fall-out and is instead focusing on their trophy win.
“We don’t focus on that decision,” Bernardo said. “We just move forward now. We won the trophy after a very good game, and that’s all we think about.” Bernardo also praised his team’s performance, saying that they deserved to win the cup. “We had almost 70 per cent of the ball, and I think we deserved to win the cup,” he said.
The win was a significant one for Celtic, who have now won their 119th major honor. James Forrest became the club’s joint most decorated player in history, alongside Bobby Lennox, with 25 medals. Callum McGregor also equaled Billy McNeill’s record, and is now just two medals behind Forrest and Lennox.
Bernardo, who has now won three trophies with Celtic, said that he’s enjoying the pressure and demands of playing for the club. “We are winning, so it’s natural to be happy,” he said. “We are playing well and winning trophies, and that’s all that matters for Celtic.” Bernardo also spoke about how he’s settled into life at Celtic, saying that he’s happy with the pressure and expectations that come with playing for the club.
“I don’t really view it as pressure because I grew up as a Benfica player and you have to win every game there too,” Bernardo said. “I joined them when I was six, so this is all I have ever known in my career. I am used to the pressure and expectations, and I know that I have to be prepared to win every game.”
Celtic’s win on Sunday was a testament to the team’s determination and resilience. Despite being pushed to the limit by Rangers, Celtic showed remarkable composure and skill, ultimately emerging victorious in the penalty shootout.
The win was also a significant milestone for Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou, who has now won his first trophy as Celtic boss. Postecoglou’s team has been in impressive form this season, and the Premier Sports Cup win is a well-deserved reward for their hard work and dedication.
In conclusion, Celtic’s Premier Sports Cup win on Sunday was a thrilling and well-deserved victory for the team. While Rangers may still be fuming about the VAR decision, Celtic are too busy celebrating their 119th major honor to worry about their rivals’ complaints. With their sights now set on the Scottish Premiership title, Celtic will be looking to build on their momentum and continue their winning ways.
