Having beaten Motherwell, Celtic became the owner of the Scottish League Cup.

Celtic for the seventeenth time won the League Cup, which became the 103rd trophy in the collection of the "Celts": 48 titles of the champion of Scotland, 37 Cups of Scotland, 17 League Cups and the European Cup.

Celtic was the undisputed favorite in the fight against Motherwell, but the entire first half of the nominal hosts rather successfully restrained the attacks of the "Celts" and even a couple of times threatened the gates of Gordon. Yes, the players of Motherwell did not have enough skill, but they compensated for this with maximum dedication.

"The hosts" did not hesitate to attack the opponent at any opportunity, trying not to give "guests" to play their game. Celtic took the challenge, and on the field of Hampden went to a typically British game. As a result, the fight was in a ragged rhythm with constant stops, which was in the hands of Motherwell.

However, in the second half Celtic still managed to open an account, and after Motherwell remained in the minority and missed the second ball from the penalty spot, the fate of the silver bowl in the match was solved.
