Rangers stars react after they are drawn against Celtic in the Betfred Cup.
General view of Ibrox – Rangers
Wouldn’t you know it, Rangers have been drawn against Celtic in the Betfred Cup semi finals.
Both sides progressed to the last four this week, with Rangers beating Queen of the South 5-0 and Celtic defeating Alloa 2-0.
The tie will be played next month on either October 22 or 23, with Aberdeen and Morton contesting the remaining semi-final fixture.

The draw comes just a fortnight after Rangers and Celtic met for the first time this season, at Celtic Park, with Brendan Rodgers’ side running out 5-1 winners.
The two teams were not due to meet until December 31, but this tie means Rangers have an instant chance at revenge.
The draw caught the attention of Rangers ace Josh Windass, who reacted on Twitter by simply posting an emoji of his eyes being wide open.
Teammate Jordan Thompson, who is on loan at Raith Rovers, also took to Twitter to react, expressing his delight at the draw.
The draw certainly gives Rangers the chance to exercise some demons, and settle the score after their humiliating defeat.
It is also notable that midfielder Joey Barton would be eligible to feature, with his three game club ban set to have expired by time the match is held – although his participation will depend on him patching up his relationship with manager Mark Warburton.
