Rangers take on Celtic in the Old Firm derby tomorrow. The two sides are meeting at the semi-final stage of the League Cup and Rangers of course knocked Celtic out at the same stage of the Scottish Cup last season.

Rangers however lost 5-1 in their last meeting with Celtic and Mark Warburton’s men won the semi-final last season after extra time.

It was in March 2012 and Rangers won 3-2 in a game in which both teams had men sent off.
