It’s a momentous occasion at Hampden and we’ve taken a look at where it could be won and lost.
For the first time in twenty-two years, Celtic takes on Rangers in the Hampden centerpiece of what is certain to be the biggest Scottish Cup Final in recent memory.
The storyline could have been different if it had been played two months earlier, but the Premiership winners are the clear favorites coming into it. After a strong league season that saw them win eight of nine games while their opponents faltered, Celtic, who are hoping to win the double at Hampden, swiftly emerged victorious in an eight-point romp.
But despite the sense of gloom threatening to engulf Philippe Clement and Rangers, they too can make it a Double – and shift the mood music ahead of a big summer. They already won the League Cup in December and adding this one to their cabinet would be a welcome beacon of hope that brighter times lie ahead. Clement says he’s ready to take some risks and it will be an intriguing battle all over the pitch – so Record Sport have picked out the four areas that could decide it.
