Celtic will look to secure a domestic double with victory over Old Firm derby rivals Rangers in the Scottish Cup final on Saturday.
Brendan Rodgers' side lifted the Scottish Premiership title, their 54th, after a 3-2 win over St Mirren on Saturday, courtesy of goals from Matt O’Riley, Kyogo Furuhashi, and Luis Palma, and will look to add to their silverware collection at Hampden Park.
The Glasgow rivals faced off just two weeks ago, with Celtic coming out 2-1 winners in a chaotic derby.
Both sides are looking for their second trophy of the season, with Rangers winning the Scottish League Cup earlier this campaign. However, Rangers have not beaten over Celtic for over a year, with Philippe Clement still yet to claim victory over his rivals.
Celtic, who are targeting back-to-back wins, have won the most Scottish Cups, with 41, while Rangers trail with 34. It is the first time the two sides have met in the final since 2002.
Celtic vs Rangers is scheduled for a 3pm BST kick-off on Saturday May 25, 2024.
The match will take place at Hampden Park.
TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on BBC One Scotland.
Live stream: The Old Firm will also be shown for free online via the BBC iPlayer and Sport website, as well as the Premier Sports streaming service.
Live blog: You can follow all the action LIVE via Standard Sport’s match blog!
Celtic have a largely clean bill of health. Although Stephen Welsh is a doubt after the defender was substituted as the Hoops lifted the Scottish Premiership title.
Meanwhile, Philippe Clement’s side may be without John Souttar, Borna Barisic, Tom Lawrence, Oscar Cortes, Rabbi Matondo, Danilo and Connor Goldson.
After claiming victory over Rangers just two weeks ago - and lifting the Scottish Premier League trophy last Saturday - Rodgers side are favourites to pick up their second consecutive Scottish Cup victory.
