10 Most Memorable Rangers Wins Over Celtic

5. 3-2 Scottish Cup Final (2002)

Speaking of the final seconds, Danish midfielder-come-striker Peter Lovenkrands knows a thing or two about scoring against Celtic when the clock is ticking down to full time. That's exactly what the speedster did during the 2002 Scottish Cup Final, effectively clinching the trophy for Rangers and leaving Celtic fan's faces as green with envy as their team's strips! The match had been nothing short of a thrill-ride, both sides of the Glasgow divide had very good teams to shout about. John Hartson, himself almost a Rangers player before he failed a medical, proved what the Ibrox club were missing with his opening goal, but it was short lived - Lovenkrands equalised just a few moments after. Undeterred, Bobo Balde gave Celtic a 50-minute lead, and it looked like Rangers may be missing out on the cup. Then, up stepped Barry Ferguson, curling a beautiful free kick into the net, setting the scene for Lovenkrands to steal the show with his second goal of the afternoon. As the referee checked his watch, the ball floated over towards the Dane, who nodded into the net beyond a despondent Robert Douglas, causing the Rangers fans behind the goal to become unglued.
