Rangers 0-1 Celtic: Jota header sinks Old Firm rivals in semi-final to keep treble dream alive
Neither goalkeeper had much to do in the first half as a deflected shot from Nicolas Raskin fizzed wide of Joe Hart's post in the opening minute, while Allan McGregor thwarted efforts from Alastair Johnston and Jota without too much fuss.
Rangers had 45 minutes to salvage their season and started the second period with increased intensity, although it needed a sprawling save from McGregor to keep out a sharp shot from Kyogo Furuhashi. A header from Tavernier thumped into the turf and over and Hart had to look lively to push a low cross out of Arfield's path before the Rangers midfielder swept over from the edge of the penalty area.
Postecoglou said the American, who has been carrying a knee injury, won't play again this season and Johnston may not been seen for a while either after celebrating on crutches at full-time.
