Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers on BBC Radio Scotland: "I thought in general we were outstanding, we started with real good composure, good control, and we were really dominating every aspect of the first-half.

"We then showed the quality of our counterattack with our speed, and we then get the penalty for 2-0. But over the course of the game I thought we were excellent.

"As a whole, the Rangers game is a huge, big-pressure game, and how the players coped with that and the quality they showed was outstanding.

"I’m delighted for them because it was a difficult one for them here 12 months ago [in last year's semi-final loss to Rangers], and the aftermath of that, but they’ve really showed in many big games this season, today included, how they’ve been improving and how they’re working well.

"We’ll get Moussa Dembele scanned; it looks like a hamstring injury. But we had the ideal guy to come on in Leigh Griffiths. He looks like he’ll score in every game he plays, and he made a great run in our counterattack that led to the penalty.

"I'll only talk about what the treble means afterwards, if we do it. It was a target; we’re one game away from a real historic season now, but we’ve still got a few games to play before that.

"We’re playing against a very, very good Aberdeen team with an outstanding manager in Derek McInnes. He’s done an outstanding job and we’ve always had difficult games against them.

"But we prepare ourselves to win, we don’t think about losing and being too disappointed with that, our plan is to win games and we find ways to do that. So that’ll be a really good final, and I’m sure if we can play as well as we did in the League Cup final, or like we did today, it could be a great day for us, but there's a lot of work to do between now and then."
