  1. Morelos finally off the mark in derbiespublished at 14:39 British Summer Time 18 April 2021

    Rangers v Celtic (15:00)

    These old rivals played out a tame 1-1 draw at Celtic Park last month in the aftermath of Rangers securing the Premiership crown.

    Mohamed Elyounoussi nodded Celtic in front but Alfredo Morelos levelled before the interval, with his first derby goal in 15 appearances.

    With so much at stake this time, this should be an altogether livelier contest.

    Celtic broke Rangers' spirit with some heavy defeats before Steven Gerrard came along. Now Rangers are in a good place to be similarly dominant. It's games like this Rangers have to win to sicken Celtic.

    With Rangers clinching their first title in a decade and St Johnstone picking up the League Cup for the first time, Celtic are facing the prospect of ending a campaign empty-handed for the first time since 2010.

    Scott Brown has lifted the trophy six times in his 14-year spell at the club. Can the veteran captain make it seven before he moves on to Aberdeen in the summer?

    There's a lot of improvement to come from Rangers, which sounds incredible with the successful season they've had. As individual players they can get better.
