Who will win Celtic vs Rangers? Our writers make their predictions for Scottish Cup Final showdown

It's 22 years since Celtic and Rangers went head to head in the Scottish Cup final and that was an epic encounter - will this one be worth the wait and live up to the drama of 2002?

If it is then the Light Blues will have to produce a performance to match their rivals which is something they haven't managed for some time. The circumstances going into the game are fairly similar to when they last clashed in the season showpiece at Hampden.

Back then, Martin O'Neill's Hoops were the dominant force but Alex McLeish arrived mid-season and landed the two knockout trophies. Philippe Clement, having already lifted the League Cup, could do exactly that if his side can triumph on Saturday. Big Eck's men edged a five-goal thriller with a last-gasp Peter Lovenkrands goal. Can Gers repeat that to end Brendan Rodgers' side's fine end to the season? It's prediction time and our writers have made their picks for the big one at Ibrox.

Given the track record of Brendan Rodgers in this fixture coupled with his side’s end of season hot streak it’s impossible to see anything other than another Celtic win. If they score early it could become a punishing day for their rivals.

Celtic 3 Rangers 0

Celtic are in good form and have the better players. Provided they produce their best levels at Hampden, they should win. Despite the narrow final scoreline, they bossed the last encounter.

Celtic 2 Rangers 0

I just think Celtic have the edge over this Rangers team. Celtic will be on a high after their title win and it should be the perfect send off for the soon-to-be-departing Joe Hart. Rangers are just defensively too vulnerable and you can see Kyogo Furuhasi coming to the fore again and making the difference.
