8 brutal Celtic and Rangers slapdowns from Sakala jibe to Barton claims and Lustig checking his pockets

It wouldn't be derby day in Glasgow if there wasn't a few pot shots between Rangers and Celtic – and the Viaplay Cup build-up has been no different.

Ibrox forward Fashion Sakala refused to name the opposition by name ahead of the massive Hampden showpiece, referring to Ange Postecoglou's holders as "the other mob" before the face-off at the national stadium. The dig didn't go unnoticed in Glasgow's east end and has only added to the drama behind a blockbuster fixture as Michael Beale looks to lift his first trophy since arriving at Rangers, while Celtic will lattempt to kickstart their bid for a domestic Treble by keeping the League Cup in Parkhead.

However, Sakala's swipe isn't the first dig fired between the Glasgow giants either on the pitch or off, with plenty of sparring taking place between those in green and blue. Record Sport takes a look at some of the cheeky jibes and heated confrontations when the two go head to head.
