This fixture is always big but a Cup Final between the great rivals is something to truly savour as Beale and Postecoglou eye glory.
Only one team qualified for the quarter finals and Rangers topped the group with Celtic behind Dundee in third place. Rangers - who were the League Cup holders - eased to a 2-0 win in Govan thanks to a double from Billy Williamson. And what's the weather going to be like? 1: The number of times the club have met in the British League Cup. He set up the two Rangers goals in the 2-2 draw in January, he scored at Parkhead last May and it was his persistence that gave Rangers the winner in last season’s Scottish Cup semi-final. In 1973, Celtic and Rangers had a win apiece in the group stages and then met again in the semi-final. If Celtic can get to grips with the midfield and get their wide men in the game, they’ll get some joy against Rangers. I’m just honoured to be in the same team as him. Cantwell joined from Norwich with just over a week of the January transfer window left, and has massively impressed so far in his Light Blues career. The closer we get to kick-off the more I think a surprise might be on the cards. Rangers lack the guile or goal threat required and it remains to be seen if they can turn this final into the scrape which would give them a fighting chance of lifting the trophy. Sunday's [Viaplay Cup Final](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/viaplay-cup) is certainly one to savour and all the ingredients are there for excitement and thrills.
Old Firm rivals Celtic and Rangers face off at Hampden Park in Sunday's Scottish League Cup final. Follow live coverage of the clash with Sportsmail's live ...
Hello, and welcome to Sportsmail's live coverage of the Viaplay Cup final. 42': A great delivery into the box is an opportunity for Kyogo's header, but it seems to come off the side of his noggin, and goes just above the goal. There's no Rangers players there at all, it seems, and it goes straight through to the Celtic No.8 for an easy tap-in. They won the semi-final against Kilmarnock 2-0 at Hampden Park the day before Rangers sealed their place in the showpiece finale. Rangers last lifted the Scottish League Cup trophy back in 2011, their 27th time doing so. They try to play it smart, and come in on a second phase. 85': Celtic managing the game by trying to keep the ball in the corner of the pitch. It bounces back and a follow-up attempt hits the side netting. Shame as it was a good run and an opportunity for Celtic to seal it. Rangers have that little bit of urgency to try and get the ball back. He drives into the box and shoots low, forcing a save from McGregor. It will be interesting to see how this changes the title race in Scotland.

Abada goes on a dart, and then goes down in the box. Abada gets a chance to go on the attack but is squeezed out. Luke Jones gets in touch: “I watched the Chelsea-Spurs game and when it ended switched to the Scottish League Cup. It was a big tune in 1996-7 when a lot of people in Britain were doing stuff that meant they were struggling to sleep. 67 min: Mary Waltz is in: “John , I got up at 5AM to watch the London Derby and struggled to stay awake. At the other end, Abada almost got away, but Raskin comes in with a last-ditch cruncher to clear up. Just when Jack looks likely to make a chance for Tavernier the ball is cleared. Celtic reign supreme in Scotland for the moment but that was a close-run thing. It will be used to hold the ball in the corner. The ball skids to Colak and then Barisic, both of whom can count themselves as victims of the Hampden turf. It was appropriate that the two pieces of genuine quality in an instantly forgettable final were sufficient to win the League Cup for Celtic. 90+5 min: An amazing passage of play as Haksabanovic, suddenly, escapes the entire Rangers defence and then has the goal at his mercy.

These are the days where you realise how big your job is. People think you're jumping for joy but it's just relief because of what it means to everyone at the club. "I have just spoken to Gordon Strachan. You know how hard it is to follow guys like that? "You don't just roll up in a Celtic shirt and it's given to you, you have to earn it and we did." With the Celtic fans in full celebration, Morelos threw Rangers a lifeline eight minutes later when he turned Tavernier's free-kick into the net to lift the mood at the other end of the stadium.
Premier League calling...? Ange's Celtic deliver big blow to bitter rivals Rangers in epic title triumph.
A fine team move set up his second as Reo Hatate burst into the Rangers box and squared for his compatriot to force the ball home 11 minutes into the second half. But it was the Hoops who had the better chances to seal the trophy in the closing stages as McGregor denied Matt O’Riley and Sead Haksabanovic fired wide. Furuhashi missed his first couple of chance of the game as Allan McGregor rushed from his line to block before Celtic’s talisman headed a glorious opportunity over. “We’ve worked awfully hard for a very long time and part of the process of working hard is to get rewarded for it at some point so that you can keep working hard, and the boys got the reward today, which I thought was well-deserved for them. Victory could be the first of a domestic treble for Ange Postecoglou’s men as they lead Rangers by nine points at the top of the Scottish Premiership and are into the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup. “You know what it means for our supporters, so it was a great day for the football club.’

Kyogo was at the double for Celtic which left Rangers too much to do despite Alfredo Morelos' strike halving the deficit.
In our system, the striker's got to be really disciplined and be inbetween the posts. You find a way to win in cup finals and the league leaders did what was required. That’s the most important thing.’— PLZ Soccer (@PLZSoccer) He was in there with two great finishes.That's two finals in a row he's scored the goals that have won it. He made the changes but by then it was too late. I think the game was won in the midfielder area by Mooy and Hatate. Commons noted a lot of talking coming from Ibrox before Sunday’s final, notably from Fashion Sakala. We’ll enjoy tonight, the players will enjoy it, you’ll enjoy it. [Ange Postecoglou](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/ange-postecoglou) and Michael Beale criticise it after the semi-finals. It wasn't vintage stuff from Celtic either, but they got the job done with one of their matchwinners stepping up when needed. I think Raskin and Cantwell have looked good since they have came to the club. [Rangers](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/rangers-fc) can't blame the surface for the result however.

From 2024/25, up to 60 cinch Premiership will be live on Sky Sports, in addition to the SWPL. It's a final against a big rival so I have 100 per cent faith one or two will declare themselves fit around Friday or Saturday. "That stuff is totally out of our control right now. Kyogo suffered a shoulder knock in the Scottish Cup and started on the bench for Saturday's 4-0 win over Aberdeen, despite Postecoglou insisting he was "good to go". The Japan striker was also an injury doubt ahead of last season's League Cup final but he turned in a man-of-the-match performance to secure Postecoglou's first trophy as Celtic manager. If Beale can clinch his first silverware as a manager it could act as a catalyst to see them close in on their city rivals in the league as well. They went on to secure a domestic double with the manager still annoyed by their Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Rangers. Rangers stand in the way of Celtic retaining the Scottish League Cup title as Michael Beale looks to secure his first trophy as a manager. Beale has admitted the chances of Rangers winning the Scottish Premiership this season are low due to the "outstanding" form of Celtic. With both sides unbeaten since the World Cup break, this clash has all the makings of a pulsating game that could go all the way to penalties. Rangers take on Celtic in the Viaplay Cup final at Hampden Park on Sunday; it is the first Old Firm cup final since 2019; Ange Postecoglou won the trophy in his first season at Parkhead; Rangers have not won the title since 2011 Celtic may be the dominant force in the Scottish Premiership with a commanding nine-point lead, but we all know form can go out the window when it comes to an Old Firm clash.
