Andy Walker has predicted on Skysports.com that Celtic will win against Old Firm rivals Rangers in the Scottish League Cup this weekend.

Celtic will face Rangers in the semi-finals of the prestigious cup competition at Hampden Park in Glasgow on Sunday afternoon.

Sky Sports pundit Walker believes that Brendan Rodgers’s side will register a 2-1 victory over Mark Warburton’s team.

The former Celtic striker has also claimed that Tom Rogic will be the key player in the tie.

The 23-year-old attacking midfielder is an important player for Celtic and is likely to start for the Bhoys.

While predicting a 2-1 win for Celtic against Rangers on Skysports.com, Walker named Rogic as the key player and wrote: “Making his mark this season in a big way, always a threat to the opposition.”

Celtic will head into the match against Rangers as favourites, and many will fancy their chances of getting the better of the Gers.

The Hoops, though, suffered a defeat in midweek, going down 2-0 to Bundesliga outfit Borussia Monchengladbach at Celtic Park in Champions League Group C on Wednesday evening.

Rangers will head into the match against their Old Firm rivals on the back of a 1-0 victory over Inverness Caledonian Thistle away from home at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium in the Scottish Premiership.
