Earlier today, we asked how much you could remember about past encounters at Ibrox in CQN’s fun five-minute quiz to test your knowledge.
Now we repeat those questions and provide the answers.
HAIL THE HAMPDEN HEROES…Daizen Maeda, who netted the decisive fifth penalty-kick, and keeper Kasper Schmeichel, who saved from Ridvan Yilmaz, celebrate Celtic’s Premier Sports League Cup Final success over Ibrox opposition in mid-December. (See Question 5.)
QUESTIONS:
1: Celtic won 1-0 in Brendan Rodgers’ first return to the venue on September 3 2023. Who was the marksman?
2: The Hoops were back in Govan on April 7 last year and shared six goals with Philippe Clement’s side. Can you name the Celtic goalscorers?
3: Joe Hart retired after the 1-0 Scottish Cup Final win over the Govan club the following month. The keeper is one of four Celts who played in the 3-3 draw who have since left Parkhead. Can you name the other three?
4: True or false: The loss on January 2 was Brendan Rodgers’ first defeat at Ibrox?
5: Celtic warmed up for that Premiership match with a Premier Sports League Cup triumph over their city foes at Hampden the previous month. Greg Taylor, Daizen Maeda and Nicolas Kuhn scored as the game ended 3-3 after extra-time. The Hoops claimed the silverware with a 5-4 penalty-kick success. Who were the Celts who netted their spot-kicks?
ANSWERS:
1: Kyogo Furuhashi.
2: Daizen Maeda, Matt O’Riley (pen) and Adam Idah.
3: Tomoki Iwata (Birmingham City), O’Riley (Brighton) and Kyogo (Rennes).
4: False. Brendan Rodgers had previously lost once at Ibrox – a 1-0 reverse on December 29 2018.
5: Celtic’s five successful penalty-kick takers: Adam Idah, Callum McGregor, Arne Engels, Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda.
Well done if you got five out of five. Go to the top of the class.
