Reaction to Sunday's semi-final

Celtic manager Ronny Deila felt his side were always in control of Sunday's League Cup semi-final against Rangers at Hampden.

Celtic manager Ronny Deila felt his side were always in control of Sunday's League Cup semi-final against Rangers at Hampden.

Goals from Leigh Griffiths and Kris Commons earned the Premiership leaders a 2-0 win and set up a March 15 meeting with Dundee United in the Scottish League Cup final, presented by QTS.

Deila said: "I think 2-0 was a fair result. In the first half we had four chances and scored two - that is OK. We didn't have many chances in the second half but we were solid at the back and kept them away from the goal.

"We haven't won any trophies yet, and the final against Dundee United is going to be tough, but everything is possible now.

"Dundee on Saturday (in the Scottish Cup) is very important and it is very motivating to see that we can win everything."

Rangers caretaker boss Kenny McDowall said: "I think we had a fair bit of play around their goal but we couldn't get an effort on the goal.

"I was disappointed with goals we gave away. We set up to keep it tight early on so to lose a goal in the manner we did threw a spanner in the works, which made the first half sticky."
