Celtic win Tennent's Sixes tournament with derby win in the final | OneFootball

Celtic won the Tennent’s Sixes with a 5-4 victory over Rangers in the final, as the competition made a return after an absence of 33 years.

All 12 SPFL Premiership sides took part in the two-day tournament at the Braehead Arena, and it was the Hoops who ultimately lifted the trophy on Sunday night after a thrilling derby victory in the final.

The Saturday session saw the team of former Celtic players win their opening game 5-2 against Kilmarnock, but they then suffered a heavy 7-1 defeat to Rangers on Saturday night.

Sunday saw the Hoops beat St Mirren 4-0 to set up a quarter-final clash with Falkirk, which Celtic won 6-3. And in the semi-final, St Johnstone were defeated 6-1.

That meant the second Glasgow derby of the competition, and Celtic twice found themselves two goals behind in the final but they fought back, with Gary Hooper scoring the all-important goal to give Celtic a 5-4 win and see them lift the Tennent’s Sixes trophy.

The former Celts who took part were: Barry John Corr, Charlie Mulgrew, Glenn Loovens, Efe Ambrose, Jonny Hayes, Aiden McGeady, Gary Hooper, Joe Ledley, Derek Riordan. And the team was managed by Tom Boyd and Simon Donnelly.
