Just a week on from playing out a 2-2 draw in the Scottish Premiership, Rangers and Celtic return to Ibrox for the latest Old Firm derby in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup on Sunday.

While Danny Rohl’s side have not been in action since letting a two-goal half-time lead slip against their bitter rivals, Martin O’Neill’s men claimed an important 2-1 top-flight victory at Aberdeen on Wednesday to boost their title hopes.

Both teams must now shift their attention to the Scottish Cup and will be aware that defeat in this fixture would see them face the stark reality of ending the campaign trophyless.

Ahead of this intriguing cup tie, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Rangers and Celtic.
