I have sneaky feeling Rangers nick it because they want it more than Celtic – Kenny Miller

When it comes to Old Firm cup finals the motivation should be exactly the same for both teams.

But going into this one at Hampden today, I can’t help feeling that Rangers will want the trophy - or need it - that bit more than Celtic. And that’s why I have a sneaky feeling that Michael Beale’s side will nick it. Ange Postecoglou has already won his two trophies last year, with the League Cup and Premiership title.

They’re going to retain the flag again this season and are still in the Scottish Cup. If Celtic don’t win on Sunday, they’ve got a fall-back with the Premiership. If Rangers don’t win it? There will be an untold amount of pressure on Michael and these players to go and win the Scottish Cup. That’s how important it is to them.

In any big game, especially an Old Firm derby, you also need a bit of luck. And Michael just seems to be carrying a wee bit of it at the moment. That could be vital today. I can see it going all the way in a really tight game.But my prediction is Rangers to win 2-1 in extra-time. Everyone has said in the build-up to today’s Viaplay Cup final that Celtic’s team picks itself bar one player. But I think you can say the same for Rangers, even if everyone’s fit.

The back five are nailed on. And I’m convinced the front three will consist of Fashion Sakala, Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent. The one big decision for Michael will come in midfield because he has a raft of options to choose from. Nico Raskin has done well since arriving at the club and does offer something different.

But this is his first Old Firm game, his first cup final in Scotland and that’s why I think he’ll only be used from the bench. If Malik Tillman is passed fit, he starts in the more advanced midfield role. Michael really
