Celtic defeat Rangers 5-4 to win Tennent’s Sixes trophy
Celtic secured the Tennent’s Sixes trophy at Braehead Arena after defeating Rangers 5-4 in the final. The victory served as a significant turnaround for the side following a heavy 7-1 defeat to their rivals during the tournament's group stage.
Former Celtic defender Charlie Mulgrew attributed the team's improved performance and ability to regroup to an evening of socialising and honest discussion following the group-stage loss. Mulgrew noted that the emotional weight of losing to their closest rivals motivated the squad to secure the win in the final.
In the earlier group stage match, Rangers dominated with a 7-1 victory, featuring five goals from Martyn Waghorn and additional scores from Alan Gow and Dean Shiels. The six-a-side tournament, organized by the Scottish Football Association, features former players to provide fast-paced football.
