Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers tells BBC Scotland: "Obviously for the spectators it was very tense. It's a game you don't need to be perfect, you just need to win and we did that by the end. We found an energy and a will and desire to keep pushing. Thankfully, we got a winner.

"I said to the players, when you're preparing for a final it's not about what you done the week before it's about the other 51 weeks. All the players, their mentality and professionalism has been unbelievable.

"It's been a fantastic season, to win a double. The problem is that when you win trophies, it becomes an expectation.

"That's not a problem. You can't take away what the Scottish Cup means for this club and our supporters.

"Rangers came in with a big motivation. We knew there would be challenges in the game. It's all about the defining moments and we were able to get the winning goal because of that."
