Rangers vs Celtic
Match Preview
This Premier Sports Cup quarter-final at Ibrox is the first of back-to-back Old Firm clashes, with the pair meeting again at Parkhead in the league just a week later. A semi-final spot is on the line, but their ill-tempered March meeting adds an edge that goes beyond cup progression. Celtic head to Ibrox as the form side over Rangers.
Celtic have won four of their last five, highlighted by a 4-0 win at Dundee United to reach this round, despite a Champions League exit to LASK. Rangers, now led by Derek McInnes, hammered holders St Mirren 5-1 last time out but were eliminated from Europe entirely. Watch Cyriel Dessers for Rangers and Kasper Høgh for Celtic up front.
The rivalry is razor-thin overall, and their last meeting in March saw Celtic edge a penalty shootout after a goalless draw, a night overshadowed by crowd trouble at Ibrox.
Expect a tense, tight affair. Our prediction: 1-2
