For both teams this is a huge game, as Celtic and Rangers are big rivals.

Any match between the two clubs is known as the Old Firm derby - they are the two biggest names in Scottish football and are both based in Glasgow.

However, in the four derbies this season, Rangers are yet to get a win.

Rangers manager Philippe Clement said the occasion is "always more than just a trophy between these two clubs in this country".

And Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers says his team are "in good condition" having won the league "in a really good way".
