What has Brendan Rodgers said?

Speaking ahead of this one, Celtic boss Rodgers has said: “We have a humility in how we work. You can never have that arrogance. We respect every opponent we play, whether it’s Rangers, Raith or whoever.

"From a football perspective there’s no different approach to this game than the other four in the league, we want to impose ourselves. For the supporters it’s everything," Rodgers said. "They live their life for Celtic. To deliver it for them would be great. Any final is always a challenge, a Celtic-Rangers final is a great occasion, but for us it’s focusing on our game and how we can win it."

What has Philippe Clement said?

Rangers boss Clement has said: “It’s my first chance to win this in Scotland. I know the feeling of winning a cup. It’s always special games. As an assistant manager I also managed to win a cup with Michel Preud’homme. That was the first trophy for Brugge after 12 or 13 years. It’s a special day because it’s one moment. That’s the nice thing about it – it’s the last game of the season. So it’s all or nothing in that moment.

“Your go on your holiday with the feeling of that climax and a really great moment. That creates a special atmosphere I think. Some things happened this season that were not good enough and it's my ambition to make the club better and team better next season. First we need to focus on this moment and grab it because if I look back at the last three Old Firms, we didn't grab the moments in these games. Every cup final is very important. It is winning a trophy, winning a prize. And I know the record of the Old Firms so it is an opportunity now to break that cycle that has been going on for too long.

“And it’s an opportunity to take and to take that moment and grab those moments in the game. That is what I have missed in the last Old Firm games, we didn’t grab our moments. And of course we got two red cards – and they were deserved, there is no discussion about that – and that was an important part of the story. So we need to be better in grabbing the moments and for sure we need to be better in starting the game better.”
