Scottish League Cup success

On December 8, the Bhoys and the Gers faced each other in the final of the Scottish League Cup.

Neil Lennon’s side 1-0 to maintain their chances of clinching the domestic treble for the fourth season in a row.

However, Rangers pushed Celtic hard, and the Gers are also challenging the Bhoys for the league title this season.

Warning for Rangers

Elyounoussi, who can also operate as a forward and is on loan at Celtic from Southampton, has warned Rangers that they will be destroyed when the two sides meet again later this month.

The 25-year-old Norway international - who joined Southampton from Basel in the summer of 2018 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £16 million - has scored one goal and provided one assist in four Europa League matches, and has scored four goals in six Scottish Premiership games for Celtic so far this season, according to WhoScored.

Elyounoussi told The Scottish Sun: "When we meet them again we’ll destroy them. There are more titles to win this season so we need to refocus.

“Rangers were strong in the final and they were on the front foot. We grew into it in the second half.”
