Celtic and Rangers renew their rivalry as they battle for the Scottish League Cup title on Sunday.

The Bhoys have been in sensational form this season – they are unbeaten in the league and have lost just one game in the UEFA Champions League so far. They romped past Aberdeen 6-0 to make the Scottish League Cup final.

The Rangers, meanwhile, have built some momentum recently and are unbeaten in their last nine matches. A 2-1 win over Motherwell in the semi-final last month saw the defending champions return to the summit clash.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Celtic vs. Rangers lineups, team news

Brendan Rodgers might be tempted to roll with the same squad that impressed in the Champions League against Dinamo Zagreb, but there’s a concern in defense. Right-back Alistair Johnson is a doubt after picking up a hip niggle in Celtic’s goalless draw.

Upfront, Daizen Maeda’s stunning hat-trick in the 6-0 semifinal win over Aberdeen should team up with Kyogo Furuhashi up front.

Celtic predicted lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Schmeichel (GK) — Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Taylor — Bernardo, McGregor, Hatate — Kuhn, Furuhashi, Maeda.

Injured: Johnson (hip, doubt), Thiago Holm
Suspended: None

Rangers, meanwhile, have some injury concerns. Winger Rabbi Matondo is almost back to full fitness but may only make the bench.

Midfielder Tom Lawrence is still sidelined, and centre-back John Souttar is a major worry after limping off against Spurs.

Rangers predicted lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Butland (GK) —Tavernier, Balogun, Propper, Jefte — Barron, Raskin — Cerny, Diomande, Yilmaz — Igamane

Injured: Lawrence (leg), Kasanwirjo (knee), Matondo (hamstring), Cortes (muscle), Souttar (hamstring).
Suspended: None

Celtic vs. Rangers prediction

Both Celtic and Rangers will be determined to claim the Premier Sports Cup and deliver an early Christmas gift to their supporters. Expect fireworks in this historic Old Firm clash!

However, on paper, it looks one way traffic. Rangers have only beaten Celtic once in last 13 meetings. So, the Bhoys should see this one through.

Prediction: Celtic 3-2 Rangers
