Rangers vs Celtic in the Premier Sports Cup quarter-final. We're live from Ibrox on Old Firm day. The big team news: Martin O'Neill hands Sam Johnstone the gloves ahead of Viljami Sinisalo - a "kick in the teeth" for the keeper who's starred all season - while Derek McInnes leaves Bojan Miovski out. Both line-ups, the match-winners, and why a derby with no away fans feels like a "diet Old Firm."
O'NEILL'S SHOCK KEEPER CALL
Why starting Sam Johnstone over Viljami Sinisalo for an Old Firm cup tie is such a statement, what it means for Sinisalo after a brilliant season, and how Johnstone's Premier League and England experience stacks up for a baptism of fire at Ibrox.
BOTH LINE-UPS AND THE MIOVSKI SNUB
The full Celtic XI with Tounekti getting the nod ahead of Haissem Hassan, Rangers' settled back four and the Dan Neil-Nico Raskin midfield, and the surprise call to leave out Bojan Miovski after his late St Mirren winner.
ARE CELTIC TOO GOOD FOR RANGERS?
The verdict: more proven attacking quality, the Martin O'Neill big-game factor and a core of McGregor, Johnstone and Tierney - can Rangers' front men find a match-winner, or do Celtic have too much? Plus the "diet Old Firm" with no Celtic fans in the ground.
