Premier Sports will screen the Old Firm clash at 4pm on Saturday April 17 as the rivals meet for the first time in the competition since the Hoops ran out 2-0 winners at the semi-final stage in 2017 – 12 months after the Ibrox side had triumphed on penalties before losing the final 3-2 to Hibs, who lifted the trophy for the first time in 114 years.

The Light Blues haven’t won the cup since 2009 with Steven Gerrard aiming to break that run while John Kennedy will be hoping to lead Celtic to silverware after the Bhoys missed out on the league title.
