It’s derby day at Hampden Park as Celtic take on Rangers in the League Cup semi-final, and interim boss Martin O’Neill has named his starting XI for the massive clash in Glasgow.

O’Neill, back in the Celtic dugout for the first time in 20 years, guided the Hoops to an emphatic 4–0 victory over Falkirk in midweek, his first game in charge since returning on an interim basis alongside Shaun Maloney.

That result lifted the mood around the club following a chaotic few days dominated by Brendan Rodgers’ shock resignation and Dermot Desmond’s explosive statement.

Celtic come into this one looking to book their place in the League Cup Final, with confidence restored after their best attacking display of the season.

O’Neill has now confirmed his starting XI for the semi-final…

Confirmed Celtic Line-Up vs Rangers:

The Hoops will be backed by a sold-out Celtic end at Hampden as they look to continue their resurgence and claim a place in December’s showpiece final.

All eyes will be on whether Johnny Kenny keeps his place after his midweek double, and if Daizen Maeda is deemed fit enough to feature from the start following his return from injury.

Kick-off is at 2:00pm, live on Premier Sports 1, with coverage beginning from 1:00pm.
