Rangers win the Old Firm derby 3-0

Rangers hosted Celtic on Sunday afternoon, with both sides hoping to book their spot in the final four of the Scottish League Cup.

Both sides went into the derby having won all of their previous four in the Scottish Premiership. But one team's run had to end at Ibrox, in what was guaranteed to be an exciting match.

Celtic went into the game having won all of their matches played in Scotland this season, picking up eight wins from eight. Rangers lost just one of their nine matches in Scotland this campaign before today, setting up a tasty clash this afternoon.

The hosts dealt the visitors the first blow, as captain Dan Neil opened the scoring. His strike was low into the bottom left of the goal, beating the outstretched Sam Johnstone.

O'Neill's side had plenty of work to do, but with over an hour left, there was still plenty of drama to unfold. At half-time, the hosts led 1-0.

The second 45 began, and the Blue side of Glasgow were hoping for more of the same, and they got it. In the 59th minute, Kevin Kelsy found himself free at the back post, and his near-post strike found its way into the back of the net, doubling the hosts' advantage with 30 minutes remaining.

The first Old Firm derby of the season was going in favour of the hosts, with 30 minutes remaining. Things got even better for the side in front, 15 minutes from play. Their skipper, Dan Neil, scored his second of the game, and McIness' side's third.

He found himself free on the edge of the box and curled home a delightful strike. His goal sealed the win for Rangers, who were in the final four of the Scottish League Cup.

Derek McIness' side will face Aberdeen in the semi-finals, while Hearts will take on Hibernian. Who do you think will reach the final of the competition?
