Celtic’s domination of the Scottish Cup has ended with a 2-0 defeat away to rivals Rangers in the fourth round of the competition.
An impressive overhead kick from Steven Davis and an own goal from Jonjoe Kenny in the first-half were enough for Steven Gerrard’s men to advance to the next round, where they’ll meet St Johnstone in a home tie.
Celtic had their opportunities in the second period, including missing a late penalty, but they couldn’t get themselves back into the contest. The result ends their run of four successive Scottish Cup final triumphs.

Good use of the ball coming out from the back but didn't look as convincing defensively as he often does. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group

The best player in green-and-white and it's not even close. He constantly asked questions of the Rangers defence. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
