Celtic and Rangers to meet in League Cup semifinal

The Scottish League Cup semifinal will pit fierce Glasgow rivals Rangers and Celtic against one another.

Rangers and Celtic will renew their Old Firm rivalry in the Scottish League Cup after being paired together in Thursday's semifinal draw.

The Glasgow rivals are the two most successful clubs in the competition's history, with Rangers having 27 titles to Celtic's 15.

Celtic defeated Alloa Athletic 2-0 to book its place in the last four, while Rangers battered Queen of the South 5-0.

The Bhoys resoundingly earned bragging rights in the first derby of the season earlier this month with a 5-1 victory at Celtic Park, which marked the first Scottish Premiership meeting between the sides since 2012 and Rangers' demotion to the fourth tier after their liquidation.
