Gordon Strachan believes James Tavernier could start for Celtic - and there are four or five others in blue who are up to the Angeball mark.

It's a big week of build-up in Glasgow as both sides of the divide aim to take their place in the Scottish Cup final. Rangers will hope to repeat last year's semi-final by winning the day but Ange Postecoglou's side will be desperate to clinch another victory over their rivals and push themselves closer to a treble.

Former Parkhead boss Gordon Strachan has been running the rule over his former side's rivals and is full of praise for captain Tavernier, who this season entered the Rangers Hall of Fame.

And he reckons the right-back is Player of the Year and could fit into Postecoglou's plans. Quizzed on which Ibrox players would make it in the Celtic starting XI, Strachan told Casinosite.nl : “If James Tavernier wasn’t playing for Rangers, they’d probably say he’s not a bad player and he could get in there.
