Scottish fiercest footballing rivals go head to head in the battle for the first piece of silverware of the season
The two bitter rivals are sitting on a total of 118 major trophies so the winner will be out in their own.There is, of course a bigger picture. Brendan Rodgers wants to get his hands on the only domestic trophy to elude him last season. And' Belgian boss hasn't beaten Celtic and there is pressure to deliver, with the Ibrox side a long way off in the Scottish Premiership.
He's out on the pitch to film his Rangers TV interview and the early larks are screaming like a Hollywood icon has graced their presence.
Both teams have arrived at Hampden as the anticipation continues to build to this afternoon's showpiece Final. Taking to Instagram, the Senegalese striker, now starring in the Champions League on loan at surprise package Brest, shared a snap of him holding the trophy aloft in front of the jubilant Rangers support, while also issuing an 'All the best lads' message.It's like a scene out of a panto or one of the acclaimed stage shows invovling these teams. A line drawn... in the urinals!
Brendan Rodgers’ side dispatched Hibernian 3-1 with a double from Daizen Maeda and a goal from Nicolas Kuhn coming from a monumental mix-up in the Hibs backline.As usual, the pre-game rumour mill is working over time.John Souttar was a likely absentee ever since he limped off early against Tottenham, but the suggestion is that he could be facing up to two months out.
