Celtic will take on Steven Gerrard’s Rangers at Ibrox next weekend, and John Kennedy’s side warmed up for the match with a 6-0 hammering of Livingston.

It was one of the best and most comprehensive performances from Celtic this season, and although they have already lost the Scottish Premiership title to bitter Old Firm rivals Rangers, they are still in the Scottish Cup.

Under interim-manager Kennedy, the Hoops will lock horns with Rangers away from home at Ibrox in the Scottish Cup next weekend.

Former Celtic striker John Hartson has expressed his delight on Twitter at the Bhoys winning the game, and has joked that they should have saved a few for next weekend’s tie against Rangers.

Rangers have won the league title and already know that they will have a better season than Celtic no matter what.

However, the Gers will be determined to pile more misery on the Hoops, who themselves will be keen on winning at Ibrox and keeping their hopes of winning the Scottish Cup alive.

It will be a very entertaining game and could be a classic Old Firm derby.
