Celtic have become world record breakers and 2022/23 treble winners with a 3-1 win over Inverness on Saturday evening.
Ange Postecoglou’s men weren’t at their best in the opening stages but were dominative throughout and secured victory in the end.
Although slow out the blocks, Kyogo broke the deadlock on 38 minutes.
Matt O’Riley received the ball just inside the box and cut back for the on-rushing Kyogo who thundered into the roof of the net from close range:
🎯 Clinical Kyogo.

Jota held up well for Callum McGregor who played in Liel Abada. The Israeli, who came on at the break, then scored a goal typical of his play style, finishing first time into the back of the net:

After this, Inverness did get one back but Jota cancelled it out late on to secure the cup, the Portuguese bundling home after the ball was loose in the box:
That will put it beyond doubt! 🙌
