Rangers and Celtic collide for the second time in a week on Sunday and this Scottish Cup quarter‑final meeting could be even more dramatic than last week's Premiership draw. 

The Light Blues raced into a 2‑0 lead through Youssef Chermiti’s superb first-half double, including a sensational overhead kick, before Celtic fought back via Kieran Tierney’s header and Reo Hatate’s penalty rebound.

Celtic have since climbed above Rangers in the table after a 2‑1 win at Aberdeen on Wednesday, with Benjamin Nygren scoring the decisive goal. 

But all attention now turns to this latest cup clash, the Hoops having beaten Rangers 3‑1 after extra time in November’s League Cup semi‑final.

Team news

Rangers boss Danny Rohl confirmed a “full house” in training this week, with midfielder Connor Barron back after a knee injury that has kept him out since early January.

Dujon Sterling and Ryan Naderi both shook off knocks to start last weekend’s derby and are expected to feature again.

Chermiti remains the man Celtic must stop. The Portuguese striker has now bagged eight goals in his last four games against Celtic and Hearts, with Kilmarnock the only other team he has scored against this season.

Celtic manager Martin O’Neill revealed that Tierney’s foot injury — sustained after also scoring at Pittodrie — was clearing up, while Kasper Schmeichel trained on Friday following illness and a shoulder injection.

However, Celtic remain without Alistair Johnston, Callum Osmand, Arne Engels, Jota and Cameron Carter‑Vickers.

Marcelo Saracchi returns, but Kelechi Iheanacho, Michel‑Ange Balikwisha and Joel Mvuka were omitted again in midweek.

Prediction

Last weekend’s derby was a reminder of why the Old Firm remains one of football’s most compelling fixtures.

Rangers’ blistering start exposed Celtic’s vulnerable backline, while the Hoops’ spirited comeback has become a hallmark of O’Neill’s latest reign.

With both sides carrying confidence into this tie — and both managers demanding higher intensity — another open, chaotic contest feels likely.

Rangers’ attacking form in the cup and Celtic’s ability to respond under pressure point strongly toward goals at both ends.

Given the recent history between the sides and the stakes involved, this quarter‑final has all the ingredients for another high‑scoring thriller.
