Celtic Defeats Rangers 3-1 in Premier Sports Cup Semi-Final After Aasgaard Red Card

Rangers faced a challenging Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Celtic, where they were reduced to ten men early after Thelo Aasgaard received a red card for a high challenge on Anthony Ralston. Despite being a man down, Rangers managed to equalize through a penalty converted by James Tavernier, but ultimately Celtic triumphed 3-1 in extra time with goals from Callum McGregor and Callum Osmand. Rangers manager Danny Rohl praised his team's spirit and effort despite the defeat and acknowledged the referee's decision on the red card without contesting it. Meanwhile, Rangers forward Youssef Chermiti has come under scrutiny for underwhelming performances, raising doubts about his future at the club amid concerns over the team's limited attacking options. Rohl has shown tactical flexibility since taking charge, making several system changes and team adjustments ahead of the derby, contrasting with his predecessor's rigidity. The defeat to Celtic marks a setback for Rangers but highlights the resilience and tactical evolution under Rohl's leadership.
