Steven Gerrard’s men have already secured the Scottish Premiership crown to end Celtic’s nine-year long dominance in the league, but haven't won the Scottish Cup since 2009.

Meanwhile, John Kennedy’s side are out for revenge and are defending cup holders here, having won this competition in each of the last four seasons.

These sides drew 1-1 at Celtic Park towards the end of March and Sunday’s encounter will be the fourth time they have clashed this season.

Rangers are as yet unbeaten against their rivals (W2 D1) this term but won't leave anything to chance here at Ibrox.

Our prediction: Rangers v Celtic

Celtic have scored nine goals in just two games since drawing with Rangers last month but Gerrard’s men are a much tougher proposition than either Falkirk or Livingston.

Kennedy appears upbeat heading into the tie, which is now Celtic’s sole opportunity to win a trophy this summer. Yet Rangers are on cruise control and will want to assert their dominance over their rivals here.

Don’t be surprised if this is a free-flowing attacking game – somewhat different to the sort of Old Firms we’re used to. There’s not so much at stake here compared to the league battles earlier in the season, so we should expect plenty of goalmouth action at Ibrox.

Our prediction: Rangers 3-1 Celtic (18/1 at bet365)
