Mark Warburton’s Glasgow Rangers will face Old Firm rivals Celtic in the Scottish League Cup this weekend.
Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths has suggested to The Scottish Sun that Moussa Dembele and he should start together against Rangers this weekend.
The Bhoys will take on Old Firm rivals Rangers at Hampden Park in Glasgow in the semi-finals of the Scottish League Cup on Sunday afternoon.
Dembele, who joined Celtic in the summer transfer window after leaving English club Fulham at the end of the 2015-16 season, is likely to start.
The 20-year-old forward has been in good form for Brendan Rodgers’s side so far this campaign.
Griffiths was arguably Celtic’s best player last season, but the Scotland international striker is not guaranteed a place in the starting lineup at the moment.
The 26-year-old believes that playing the two strikers together against Rangers would be something unexpected for Mark Warburton’s side.
“There’s been a lot of talk about the manager fitting us both into the team,” Griffiths told The Scottish Sun. “Could he play both of us against Rangers? That’s a question for the manager.
“Would I like to see it? Of course I would. I think both of us up top against Rangers is something the fans would want to see.
“Rangers wouldn’t be expecting it. But the two people who would find it most enjoyable would be myself and Moussa because we could go and run riot.”
Celtic will head into the match as favourites, and one should not be surprised if they win by two goals.
Rangers, though, will have learnt from the mistakes they made against the Bhoys earlier in the season. The Gers are in good form at the moment and will not be pushovers for the Hoops.
