Tom Boyd has told The Scottish Sun that the Rangers players will not be as cocky heading into the Old Firm derby against Celtic this weekend as the Ges were last month.

Rangers will take on Celtic at Hampden Park in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup on Sunday afternoon.

Graeme Murty’s side suffered a 3-2 defeat to Brendan Rodgers’s at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership last month.

Back in March when the draw for the Scottish Cup semi-finals was made, the Rangers players cheered, manager Murty was quoted as saying by The Daily Record.

Former Celtic defender Boyd, who is a legend at Celtic Park and won the league title three times during his time with the Bhoys from 1992 until 2003, has taken a swipe at Rangers players, stating that they will not be as cocky this time as they were last month.

Boyd told The Scottish Sun: “I would hope so – I certainly don’t think they’ll be as cocky going into that one as they were the last time out. As long as Celtic turn up for this one, they have a great chance of going through to the final.”

Celtic favourites

Celtic are in good form at the moment and will head into the match against Rangers as favourites.

If the Hoops score the first goal at Hampden Park, then it is hard to see how the Gers would be able to come back and win the tie.
