Fall guy Jelavic bounces back to make Celtic pay

RANGERS manager Walter Smith hailed his players for showing the determination to overcome a controversial refereeing decision and edge an enthralling Old Firm final at Hampden yesterday.

Rangers secured the Co-operative Insurance Cup after winning an entertaining contest 2-1 thanks to an extra-time winner from Nikica Jelavic.

The match sparked from the start and Steven Davis put Rangers ahead in the 23rd minute before Joe Ledley headed an equaliser on the half-hour mark.
