Celtic 2-1 Rangers (Scottish Cup)



John Hartson's goal 13 minutes from time gave Celtic FC a 2-1 victory against Old Firm rivals Rangers FC in the third round of the Scottish Cup on Sunday.

Sutton strike
Hartson, who signed a new two-year deal at Celtic Park on Friday, celebrated with his 18th goal of the season as the home side gained revenge for the 2-0 Scottish Premier League defeat by their Glasgow rivals in November. Chris Sutton was dismissed on that occasion but went some way to making amends when he prodded Hartson's flick-on through the legs of goalkeeper Stefan Klos on 37 minutes to give Celtic a half-time lead.

Last-gasp effort
Fernando Ricksen headed Rangers level moments after the re-start, and it looked to have earned his side a replay before Hartson latched on to Sutton's pass at the back post. Rangers did not lie down, however, and new signing Thomas Buffel, on as a second-half substitute for another debutant, Bojan Djordic, could have taken the game to a replay but contrived to fire a last-minute shot over from eight metres.
