1982/83 - Celtic 2-1 Rangers
Celtic win 2-1

Celtic avenge those League Cup final defeats of the 1970s.

The darling of the Celtic fans, Charlie Nicholas displayed great skill to put Celtic ahead.

Then classy midfielder Murdo MacLeod blasted in a second for Celtic before midfielder Jim Bett pulled one back for Rangers.

Celtic held on for victory in the rain and Danny McGrain had the pleasure of climbing the Hampden steps to lift the trophy.

The line-ups for the final on 4 December 1982 were:

Celtic: Bonner, McGrain, Sinclair, Aitken, McAdam, MacLeod, Provan, McStay (Reid 45), McGarvey, Burns, Nicholas.

Rangers: Stewart, MacKinnon, Redford, McClelland, Paterson, Bett, Cooper, Prytz (Dawson 45), Johnstone, Russell (MacDonald 45), Smith.
