Celtic are set to play in the Scottish Cup Final, while Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have not won a major trophy since 2011.

Celtic youngster Mikey Johnston has taken a cheeky dig at Glasgow Rangers’ lack of trophies in recent times through his comments in the Scotsman.

Rangers have not lifted a major trophy since 2011, with Celtic winning the league for eight years running.

Celtic forward Johnston was still a child the last time he saw Rangers win anything.

And he says that Celtic are desperate to win the treble treble at the weekend now, to continue their run of success.

“Everybody wants the treble treble, everyone in the dressing room wants it over the line. It’s another final and everyone is turning up taking nothing for granted,” Johnston said.

“I was only about 11 or 12 when Rangers last won a trophy so it’s a fair comment to say that I’ve grown up knowing only success. My pals are the same.

“Celtic are used to winning, that’s certainly true for now. But there is always pressure to win things at a club like this. You must always be moving forward as a player and I think that has helped my development.”

Johnston has a chance of playing for Celtic in the cup final at the weekend.

Neil Lennon’s men are due to take on Hearts, as they look to take a clean sweep of all the domestic trophies on offer.

Johnston scored twice for Celtic on their final league game of the season last weekend, which also came against Hearts.

The 20-year-old Bhoys forward now has five goals to his name in 14 Scottish Premiership appearances this term.
