Celtic face Rangers in the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden.

The Old Firm rivals meet with a place in the June 3 at stake, with Championship side Inverness booking their spot in the final with victory over Falkirk on Saturday.

Celtic have had a clear edge over Rangers this season and are close to sealing a defence of their Premiership title. Ange Postecoglou’s side also defeated Michael Beale’s team to win the Scottish League Cup in February, on their last Hampden appearance.

Rangers therefore have one final chance at silverware this season, while Celtic hold hopes of completing the treble for the fifth time in seven years.

Here’s everything you need to know.
