"After a goalless 120 minutes at Ibrox, penalties were required, with Tavernier striking the crossbar with the first spot-kick before Gassama fired over Viljami Sinisalo's net. And that allowed Tomas Cvancara to convert the decisive strike from 12 yards out, though Celtic's win was overshadowed by ugly scenes, as sections of both supporters poured onto the pitch following the conclusion of the match."
"Rangers had the ball in the net in the 100th minute when Emmanuel Fernandez turned home from a corner, but the goal was ruled out for handball following a VAR review. Chermiti spurned a glorious opportunity as he fired wide from close range, as penalties were needed to decide who would reach the last four."
"Rangers were the first to blink when Tavernier clipped the top of the crossbar, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain handing Celtic an advantage. Celtic remained perfect from there as Gassama failed to hit the target, which handed Cvancara the opportunity to seal a huge win."
