What channel is Celtic v Rangers? TV and live stream details for Premier Sports Cup semi-final

While it will be a first Old Firm game in over 20 years for returning Celtic manager Martin O’Neill, who has taken charge on an interim basis following the resignation of Brendan Rodgers, it will be a maiden experience of the powderkeg fixture for recently appointed Rangers boss Danny Rohl.

The German, formerly head coach of Sheffield Wednesday, has been in charge of Rangers for three matches since taking over from Russell Martin, recovering from a dismal 3-0 defeat by SK Brann in the Europa League in his inaugural outing with back-to-back league wins over Kilmarnock and Hibs.

The victory at Easter Road was particularly encouraging for Rangers as they kept a clean sheet away from home for the first time since December while ending Hibs’ 11-month unbeaten record at Easter Road in the Scottish Premiership.

Celtic, meanwhile, secured a 4-0 victory over Falkirk in O’Neill’s first match back in the Parkhead dugout on Wednesday night as the 73-year-old turned back the clock.

The search for a new permanent manager is ongoing against the backdrop of significant disharmony between the Celtic support and the board of directors with protests taking place before the Falkirk game and in previous matches prior to Rodgers’ departure.

Rangers fans also remain unconvinced by those leading their club with CEO Patrick Stewart and sporting director Kevin Thelwell coping serious flak for the failed appointment of Russell Martin and the perceived poor player recruitment over the summer.

The winner of Sunday’s semi-final will face either Motherwell or St Mirren in the final at the national stadium in December.

Celtic, the League Cup holders, reached the last four thanks to comfortable wins over Falkirk and Partick Thistle while Rangers made it past Alloa Athletic and Hibs.
