Celtic vs Rangers – LIVE!

Celtic and Rangers today meet in the Scottish League Cup final as the Old Firm derby rivals chase the first piece of silverware for the season at Hampden Park. Brendan Rodgers’ side have dominated Scottish football over the past few years after losing a tenth league title to the hands of their great rivals during the Steven Gerrard era.

Still, and while this has been a difficult season for the Gers, Philippe Clement’s side have turned a corner of late. Rangers are on a nine-match unbeaten run and really should have beaten Tottenham in the Europa League on Thursday night. They will hope to raise their game in Glasgow later today to claim what would be a statement victory for the season ahead.

Adam Idah last season settled the Scottish Cup final between the two sides with a famous late goal and more drama can be expected this afternoon. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!

Celtic vs Rangers: Scottish League Cup final score prediction today

13:01 , Jonathan Gorrie

Both sides are in great form heading into the final and that ought to set up some spectacle in the latest instalment of the Old Firm derby at Hampden.

Unbeaten in this fixture in six, including victory in the Scottish Cup final back in May, Celtic certainly have the advantage over Rangers and it’s difficult to look past them on Sunday.

Celtic to win, 2-0.
