CELTIC stand two wins from making history as they bid to complete the first double treble in Scottish football.
Blocking their path to the Scottish Cup Final are Old Firm rivals Rangers in today's last-four showdown at Hampden.
Celts have dominated the fixture in recent years but it would be extra sweet for Gers fans if their team could ruin the Hoops' cup glory quest.
Match result
Celtic are unbeaten in all nine meetings with Rangers since Brendan Rodgers took charge at Parkhead, winning seven and drawing two.
Gers boss Graeme Murty has a decent record against Celtic, with two draws and a 3-2 defeat last month despite having an extra man for the final half hour.
He's fighting to keep the job beyond the summer and a win today would be a huge help towards that aim but Celtic have better players in most positions and can triumph in 90 minutes at 3-4.
Add over 1.5 match goals at 2-9 to boost the overall Bet Builder odds.
Team Corners
Celtic invariably have more of the ball than the Light Blues. They had nine corners in the Ibrox win last month and in six of the last eight meetings have had six corners or more.
The mark today is set at 5.5 for the Hoops and I'm on overs at 4-6.
Cards
The volatile nature of this fixture is well known and of course there's been plenty of bust-ups, scraps and red cards over the years. But refs often try to keep a lid on things to prevent all hell breaking loose and with so much at stake today, whistler Bobby Madden will be mindful of the heightened tensions.
Madden has reffed the derby twice before, dishing out six yellows each time, and seven of the last eight Old Firm games have seen under 6.5 cards. Same again today is worth considering at 5-6.
