Celtic vs Rangers: Is Scottish League Cup semi-final on TV? Channel and kick-off time for Old Firm clash
Old Firm rivals Celtic and Rangers face off in a semi-final today (November 2) with both sides of Glasgow hoping to book a place in the Scottish League Cup final.
It’s been a rocky start for both teams already this season. After a disastrous start with Russell Martin, Rangers found themselves uncharacteristically floating around the bottom half of the league table, as well as being dumped out of the Champions League in a humiliating 9-1 aggregate loss to the hands of Belgian side Club Brugge.
The club sacked Martin after a poor run of results following his appointment in the summer. Danny Rohl was appointed with the aim of turning around Rangers’ fortune - his tenure has begun with a Europa League loss but has seen a return to form with two subsequent league wins out of two.
It’s not been much quieter to the other side of Glasgow, with Celtic losing manager Brendan Rodgers after falling eight points behind league leaders Heart of Midlothian. Former manager Martin O’Neill has taken charge in the interim period, reviving the team with a 4-0 win against Falkirk in the league.
The winner of today’s semi-final will face St Mirren. The Paisley club beat Motherwell 4-1 in yesterday’s semi-final (November 1). With a spot in the final at stake, as well as a race to return to form, everything is to play for in the Scottish League Cup semi-final between Celtic and Rangers.
