For the first time since 2002, Celtic will take on Rangers in an Old Firm Scottish Cup final!
The Glasgow giants clash at Hampden Park on Saturday, with the Hoops hoping to clinch the double after beating their arch rivals to the Premiership title.
Celtic won the trophy last year to extend their record of wins in the competition to 41. The last time Rangers lifted the trophy was in 2022.
The last Old Firm final over 20 years ago was a cracker, with Peter Lovenkrands scoring a 90th-minute winner for Rangers, who came from behind to win 3-2.

Celtic v Rangers team news
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers had no new injuries to report ahead of the final but questions remain regarding the fitness of Yang Hyun-Jun.
As for Rangers, they’re expected to take risks with several players missing last weekend’s clash with Hearts. John Lundstram is poised to return after serving his two-game ban.
Celtic v Rangers prediction
Andy Robson: Celtic are a strong price to win the Scottish Cup by beating Rangers in normal time given the record they enjoy against their rivals this season.
This will be the fifth meeting between the clubs in 2023/24, with Brendan Rodgers’ side having won three of the previous four. The exception saw Rangers score twice late on to secure a 3-3 draw at Ibrox in early April.
Celtic’s squad, meanwhile, is in pristine shape. They are no one who is expected to miss out. By contrast, Rangers have numerous doubts coming into this game, and while Philippe Clement has intimated that he is willing to take risks over the fitness of some of his players, it is doubtful just how match-fit some will be.
On top of this, the Gers have won only six of their last 14 matches in all competitions and just one of their last five away from Ibrox.
