The fierce rivalry in Glasgow football reached new heights on Sunday night as Celtic emerged victorious over Rangers in the final of the revived Tennent’s Sixes, winning 5-4 at Braehead Arena. This thrilling match came just a day after Celtic suffered a staggering 7-1 defeat to Rangers during the group stage.

The Tennent’s Sixes featured retired players from all 12 Premiership teams, reviving a tournament that originally ran from 1984 to 1993. The emotions on display mirrored those of any significant trophy final.

• Charlie Mulgrew, a pivotal player for Celtic, admitted to getting carried away during celebrations, notably ignoring handshake attempts from Rangers captain Andy Halliday to instead engage with the crowd. He also exchanged words with Rangers manager Barry Ferguson.

In the Rangers dressing room, tensions ran high post-match, with a leaked video showing Kirk Broadfoot harshly criticizing goalkeeper Lee Robinson.

Reflecting on the match, Mulgrew shared, “A lot of adrenaline was flowing, a few nasty tackles. You don’t like to get beat from Rangers, our closest rivals, 7-1, so that hurt.” He added, “It feels like I’ve won an actual, real cup. It’s mental.”

Celtic manager Tom Boyd expressed his anger at the players' performance on Saturday, stating that winning felt comparable to clinching the league title. Assistant manager Simon Donnelly echoed these sentiments, saying, “It’s against Rangers, so it’s as if it’s a Scottish Cup final there. You could play Rangers at tiddlywinks and you’d still want to win.”
