Celtic’s biggest wins over Rangers since 2000

After the Parkhead team defeated Aberdeen on Saturday, Celtic now knows they will play Rangers in the League Cup final the following month.

With goals from Kyogo Furuhashi, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Nicolas Kuhn, and hat-trick hero Daizen Maeda, the Hoops humiliated Aberdeen 6-0.

Michael Stewart revealed what the Ibrox fans seated next to him at Hampden informed him about the possibility of facing Brendan Rodgers’ squad next month after Rangers defeated Motherwell on Sunday to face Celtic in the final.

Michael Stewarts says Rangers fans fear a Celtic ‘drubbing’

When Philippe Clement’s team was trailing 1-0 at halftime, Stewart, who was providing commentary for Premier Sports at the Rangers game, remarked that the Ibrox crowd appeared content with the defeat because it meant they wouldn’t have to play Celtic in December.

“I mean, anything can happen in a cup final,” Stewart said to The Scottish Football Social Club. “You know, someone could be sent off, someone could get a penalty kick, someone’s knee could deflect, and then you can hang on to something so you can never write it off completely.”

However, I can tell you that there was anxiety about them based on my conversations with a couple of the Ranger supporters who were nearby.

“This happened at halftime, and they’re anxious about even making it to the cup final. They were practically saying, “If we don’t make it to the cup final, at least we won’t get smashed,” and I was thinking, “You can’t live like that.”
