Rangers vs Celtic - We preview Sunday's Old Firm Premier Sports Cup quarter-final - Ibrox with no away fans - and ask whether the atmosphere that makes this the biggest game in Scotland has been "sterilised" for good. Predictions, the Celtic back four Rangers can target, how the Ibrox crowd could swing it, both line-ups, the match-winner odds and your shouts.
HAS THE OLD FIRM ATMOSPHERE BEEN "STERILISED"?
With no away support at Ibrox and a full year of one-way derbies, the panel argue the colour, emotion and rivalry are being drained out of the fixture - "thug culture", cut allocations and a game they say is nowhere near what it used to be. But is there still room for good, honest rivalry and banter?
WHO WINS RANGERS v CELTIC? THE PREDICTIONS
The panel split: Rangers backed for home advantage and momentum, Celtic backed as the better side "in every department" with more quality in the final third. Does taking the crowd out of it change everything?
THE CELTIC BACK FOUR RANGERS CAN TARGET
Real doubts over Celtic's defence - Donovan, Carter-Vickers' fitness, and who partners whom at the back. The panel reckon that back four "can be got at", and Rangers will look to go right at it.
HOW BIG A FACTOR IS THE IBROX CROWD?
Sink or swim: why the first 15-20 minutes are crucial, how players who've never experienced an Old Firm cope, and the psychology of hearing the moans and groans if it doesn't start well.
TEAM NEWS, THE MATCH-WINNER AND YOUR SHOUTS
Both suggested line-ups, the Kevin Kelsy or Bojan Miovski call up front, Miovski's match-winner odds, and your predictions read out live.
