Cup: Celtic Rangers crashed out of the Cup losing the 2nd leg of their semi-final 3-0 at home. CR showed the same aggression that allowed them to snatch a 1-1 away draw in the first leg against fancied opposition. However, that was to prove their undoing in a crazy 15 minute spell which saw free-kicks conceded on the edge of the box. The result was 2 bookings for midfielder Thomas Ben Hatira and 3 goals from set-pieces for the visitors. In the second half, although 1 man and 3 goals down, CR pushed valiantly. The chances came, the chances went and the clocked ticked. 3-0 it stayed but the resounding cheer at full-time gave due recognition of the efforts of the home side throughout a hard campaign. 2 games against a 3xScout side just proved 1 game too many.
After the match Midas McGonnigal said "I can't thank my players enough for their efforts. We were beaten but we're not down. We will stick to what we do best - the changes we will make next season will be to replace those youngsters that didn't break though & are out of contract and those old stalwarts that seek the refuge of the rest home. The core will remain - now excuse me, I have a league game to prepare for."
