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

Jock Stein said only a fool would try to predict the outcome of an Old Firm game. Now, the Record Sport team of experts have been called that plenty of times - and in some cases, worse - so they have kindly offered their prediction.

They are never easy to call but this is a particularly tough one and our guys have delved deep into their knowledge and drawn on their experience of the fixture to try and come up with a scoreline.

Will Celtic and Ange Postecoglou hold onto their trophy? Or is this to be the first step towards a shift in power in Scottish football under Michael Beale? We will know just before 5pm on Sunday, or possibly later if extra time and penalties is required. But it's prediction time and our writers have made their picks for the big one at Ibrox.

I don’t think there will be much in the game. It could go either way but I just feel Celtic have too many attacking options that are in better form. I expect big performances from Jota and Kyogo. Malik Tillman could be big for Rangers.

This one feels almost impossible to call. Rampant Celtic ought to be slight favourites - and if the champs hit top form they are capable of blowing their rivals away. But then Rangers have been rejuvenated under Michael Beale and have players in attacking areas who can do Celtic serious damage. The closer we get to kick-off the more I think a surprise might be on the cards.

It’s going to be a belter of a contest. Every Celtic fan I know seems to think their team will win comfortably but I don’t see the evidence to back up that confidence. Postecoglou’s men are playing really well but Beale’s have matched them stride for stride since his arrival. I think Rangers will edge it.
