Rodgers matches Stein record as Celtic wins League Cup
Posted November 26, 2017 6:00 am
GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) - Celtic defeated Motherwell 2-0 Sunday at Hampden Park to retain the Scottish League Cup.
The triumph saw Brendan Rodgers become the first Celtic manager since Jock Stein to win four domestic trophies in a row.
James Forrest gave Celtic the lead shortly after halftime and the game was effectively over when Motherwell defender Cedric Kipre gave away a penalty and was sent off just before the hour mark.
Moussa Dembele rolled in the spot kick to ensure Rodgers equaled the record of club legend Stein.
