Brendan Rodgers: 'Celtic players turn up for big games'

Brendan Rodgers has admitted that he "could not ask for any more" from his Celtic players as they cruised to a 4-0 win over Rangers.

The Bhoys remain on course for a second successive Scottish Cup triumph after brushing aside their Old Firm rivals at Hampden Park on Sunday afternoon.

Goals from Tom Rogic and Callum McGregor had Celtic two up at half time, before Moussa Dembele and Olivier Ntcham added another couple from the penalty spot after Gers were reduced to 10 men.

Rodgers hailed his side after the match for extending their unbeaten run in this fixture to 10 matches.

"You can't ask for any more going into a game like this here, with so much on it," he told reporters. "To come out winning 4-0 is a great result for us.

"When big games come [the Celtic players] turn up. It's a huge credit to them. It was comprehensive."

Scottish champions Celtic will now face Motherwell in the final on May 19.
