Celtic vs Rangers LIVE score and goal updates from the Scottish Cup semi final at Hampden

The penultimate clash of the season between these two rivals is upon us and it doesn't get much bigger than this.

For Celtic, it's about taking one big step towards a Treble that would have seemed borderline unthinkable at the start of the season.

For Rangers, it's about keeping their hopes of domestic silverware alive and continuing to save face as their title defence slips away.

Throw in a 50/50 split at Scotland's national stadium and it's looking like a very spicy occasion indeed.

Ange Postecoglou' s team have been going strong in the Premiership and have Kyogo back ready to start for this one - and just in time too with Giorgos Giakoumakis set to miss out.

Gio van Bronckhorst 's squad, meanwhile, will be feeling the effects of a gruelling Europa League clash with Braga.

That was only saved from penalties by Kemar Roofe's extra-time strike but the Dutchman will be demanding his squad are ready to go again for this one.

It's a huge day for both teams as they battle it out for the right to face Hearts next month.

Keith Jackson

Rangers head to Hampden on a season high after more European heroics. But after back-to-back Old Firm wins in the league, table-topping Celtic will feel they have an edge over their rivals.

It’s almost impossible to call this one with any kind of certainty, but Celtic’s fresher legs could make the difference in extra time.
