Celtic hope to take another step closer to a domestic treble when they take on relegation strugglers St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup semi-final.
The Hoops have already won the League Cup this season and are just one point away from securing their status as Scottish champions for the fourth year in a row after a 5-1 triumph over Kilmarnock. Brendan Rodgers’ side will be huge favourites to come out on top against a team with just eight league wins all season but will be wary of the threat posed by Simo Valakari’s side, who proved earlier in the season against the Hoops that they are capable of an upset.It marks an important phase of the season for Celtic as they look to end their stellar campaign on a high while also proving to Rodgers that they are capable of being a part of the team for the 2025/26 season after the former Leicester boss hinted at wholesale changes.Elsewhere, Rangers, whose best nights have largely come in Europe this season, will hope to keep the gap at the top as respectable as possible as they look to build confidence and momentum ahead of a transformative summer under new ownership.The 49ers Enterprise Group are closing in on the acquisition of Rangers but one player that is unlikely to be a part of the new project is thought to be Tom Lawrence.
