Celtic will face Old Firm rivals Rangers in the Scottish Cup on Sunday.

Sutton and Larsson celebrate for Celtic

Chris Sutton has suggested in The Daily Record that Tom Rogic will be a key player for Celtic 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 Cup on Sunday afternoon.

Former Celtic striker Sutton believes that Australia international midfielder Rogic will be a key player for Brendan Rodgers’s team against the Gers.

The 24-year-old attacking midfielder is one of the best players in the current Celtic squad and is likely to start against Rangers on Sunday afternoon.

Sutton has also named Moussa Dembele, Scott Sinclair and James Forrest as key players for Celtic against Rangers.

“Young Myles Beerman and David Bates have done well but an Old Firm semi-final is a different deal altogether and the likes of Moussa Dembele, Scott Sinclair and James Forrest could make the afternoon an absolute nightmare,” Sutton wrote in The Daily Record.

“The fourth-piece of that attacking jigsaw is also key for Rodgers. Tom Rogic has looked rusty since coming back after his long injury lay-off.

“But the Aussie turned in a stunning display against Aberdeen in the League Cup Final and a repeat would be just the ticket for Celtic.”

Celtic will head into the match against Rangers as favourites, and many will expect to win the tie quite comfortably.

The Bhoys have the better team, and there is also the small matter of having not losing a single match in domestic competitions this season.

Rangers, though, are in good form at the moment, and the Ibrox outfit could give Rodgers’s team a run for the moment.
