Celtic to Win
Familiar foes and traditional enemies Celtic and Rangers renew their rivalry on the biggest stage on Sunday when they meet at Hampden Park to contest the Scottish League Cup Final. Defending champions Celtic have won the cup in five of the last six seasons, and with a healthy nine-point lead over their Glasgow neighbours in the current Premiership standings, the Hoops seem to have the edge in several departments. The Bhoys have lost just one out of 26 domestic fixtures in 2022/23 and our opening Celtic vs Rangers predictions backs the cup holders to prevail again.
Over 3.5 Cards
With heated rivals Rangers and Celtic sharing a pitch, the 2022/23 Scottish League Cup Final promises to be a fiery occasion and with tempers likely to flare, bettors should expect plenty of cards to be handed out at Hampden Park. 15 cautions were brandished in the last three encounters between the Glasgow giants and Sunday’s clash should be filled with just as many crunching tackles and cynical fouls. With those factors aligned, backing over 3.5 cards could be the way to go.

Rangers vs Celtic Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Rangers vs Celtic lineups and team news for Sunday’s Premiership battle below.
Rangers
John Souttar, Filip Helander, Steven Davis, Tom Lawrence and Nnamdi Ofoborh are all out injured for Rangers at present. The Gers’ 3-0 win at Livingston last time out pushed their run of successive victories in all competitions to nine games. However, the Premiership title still seems out of reach for Rangers this season.
Predicted Lineup for Rangers: McGregor – Tavernier, Goldson, Davies, Barisic – Raskin, Kamara, Sakala, Cantwell, Kent – Morelos
Celtic
David Turnbull faces a few weeks on the sidelines with a knock, while James McCarthy remains doubtful with a hamstring problem. Celtic have won ten games on the bounce in Scotland, sharing their victories across matches in the league and cup. The Bhoys are targeting a clean sweep of domestic trophies in 2022/23.
Predicted Lineup for Celtic: Hart – Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor – O’Riley, McGregor, Hatate – Jota, Maeda, Furuhashi
Player to Watch – Reo Hatate
Celtic’s Reo Hatate could be one to watch closely in Sunday’s cup final. The 25-year-old managed to score a brace in each of his last two appearances for The Hoops and the Japanese schemer should be armed with plenty of confidence this weekend as a result. Hatate has already scored two goals in games against Rangers before.
Starting Lineups
Official lineups are usually released approximately one hour before kick-off.
