It will pain Rangers that the defining goal in this semi-final stemmed from the kind of amateur defending that has undermined them against Celtic routinely in recent times. Celtic will take their place in the Scottish Cup final against Inverness early next month, with an eighth domestic treble in the club’s history now looking a near certainty.
