Two clubs chasing Scottish League Cup glory will do battle today in a match between Celtic and Rangers. The Old Firm derby scheduled for 8:30 a.m. ET will be held at Hampden Park in Glasgow and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Fox Sports 1.
What They're Saying
Rangers captain Lee McCulloch (via the Daily Record): "It'll be exciting and good for the fans. There will be a great atmosphere at Hampden. It's a great stadium to play in, especially when it's full. It's a weekend and a match that we're desperately looking forward to. The boys are well aware what to expect. We've got Kenny Miller, Kris Boyd and Lee Wallace who have all played in the Old Firm game before. They've been getting around the boys who haven't and everybody will be well aware of what to expect."
Celtic forward Anthony Stokes (via Celtic FC): "It's a massive game in the context of the season, as we're back on top of the league where we want to be and we're still involved in all the cups. But getting to just the semifinals or finals of a competition is no good, though. You want to win it. We want to win everything we're involved in. You have to take things one step at a time and the emphasis is always on the league, but it'd be nice to go and win the two cups as well and that's what we're fully focused on."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Stokes remains the club's primary attacking threat. The 26-year-old has a club-best seven goals in 17 league appearances.
Celtic's Projected Lineup (4-2-2-2): Gordon; Izaguirre, Dijk, Denayer, Matthews; Brown, Bitton; Johansen, Commons; Stokes, Guidetti
Rangers' Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Simonsen; Wallace, McGregor, McCulloch, Foster; Smith, Hutton, Law, Templeton; Miller, Daly
