Celtic are favourites to beat Rangers and lift the Scottish Cup - but what do our panel of expert pundits expect to happen?
Brendan Rodgers' side bounce to the national stadium looking to make it a league and cup double after claiming a 12th Premiership title in 13 seasons.
Celtic are hitting top form at the minute. In the last month some of their football has been outstanding. They’ll be supremely confident. Even if Rangers win the cup, I think people acknowledge there needs to be big changes this summer. A rebuild is required. Regardless of what happens at Hampden, it will need to be a different Rangers next season.Ex-Scotland midfielder Michael Stewart believes Celtic could have the mental edge over Rangers - and that Brendan Rodgers’ midfield is likely to be key at Hampden.
The recent matches will be playing on Rangers’ mind. The performance at Ibrox in the 3-3 draw got into their heads I think. Celtic were very good and then they followed it up with a win at home a few weeks later. There is probably more pressure on Rangers to get their tactics perfect because Celtic have had a lot of success during the Old Firm games and they very seldom change the way they play football.
Winning the league is always the most important but Rangers need to draw a line under that and focus on the cup final because they cannot change the league. Ex-Celtic defender Charlie Mulgrew believes his former side's recent derby record makes it difficult to see Rangers claiming the cup. Rangers don’t have three players good enough to outplay Celtic, but they could put an extra body in there. That would allow them to dominate possession, but their press needs to be better so they can get up high and force Celtic long.Ex-Rangers winger Neil McCann says his former club must get their shape out of possession spot on if they are to challenge Celtic.
