How 8 elite pundits see Celtic vs Rangers shaking out as Simon Jordan predicts a procession and grim Ibrox reality aired

It's the one fixture on the planet where bombastic adjectives can, almost, underplay the magnitude of what's at stake when Celtic and Rangers lock horns.

The Glasgow giants will meet for the 20th time in a Scottish Cup Final with the stage set for the first Old Firm showpiece for 22 years. Remarkably, it's seven wins apiece for both sides and five draws. But parity isn't a feeling Rangers backers are experiencing right now.

Rangers still have a lot of very good players, match winners, in their team and I think it would be foolish to write them off."
