A spirited Rangers came from behind to beat Celtic at Hampden Park to secure a place in the Scottish Cup final.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men fought back from a goal down to win the Old Firm clash in extra time, an own goal from Carl Starfelt proving costly for the Premiership leaders.
Rangers will now meet Hearts, who edged out Hibs in an entertaining Edinburgh derby in the other semi-final, Stephen Kingsley scoring what proved to be the decisive goal in a 2-1 win.
The teams will return to Hampden Park to battle for a trophy Rangers last won back in 2009, three years before Hearts last did so.

Scottish Cup final betting odds
Rangers will be likely to be seen as favourites by most. Although Celtic have been the best team in Scotland this season, the reigning champions have been comfortably second and, having qualified for a Europa League semi-final, they will be rightly confident. Their spirit and determination were clear to see in their comeback against Celtic in the last four.
