After the Scottish Cup final, James McFadden, an enduring Rangers star, expressed fear for a Celtic player….

Celtic won the bragging rights of Glasgow once again when they beat Rangers in the Scottish Cup final on Saturday.

The Gers suffered a 1-0 defeat after a 90th-minute winner from Adam Idah, with the Ibrox club now losing for a fourth time this season to Celtic.

Michael Beale and Philippe Clement have been in the dugout for those matches, respectively, as Rangers couldn’t overcome the might of Brendan Rodgers upon his return to the club this season.

Celtic had won the Treble under Ange Postecoglou and Rodgers, to the surprise of some, returned to win the title again and added the Scottish Cup to the cabinet also.

There have been many great performances from Celtic players against Rangers this season, from Hampden to Parkhead.

But one man James McFadden was keen to highlight was Daizen Maeda and the issues he causes in the Glasgow derby.

Just go back to his brilliant opening goal inside the first minute at Ibrox during that 3-3 epic!

The former Scotland midfielder thinks James Tavernier is scared of the Celtic winger because he ’spooks’ him ‘every time they play’, as he told BBC Sport.

From Postecoglou to Rodgers, they like to play Maeda on Tavernier’s side because they know his attacking threat.
