Graeme Shinnie raves about Celtic double trouble as Dons hero seeks diplomacy amid loaded Rangers question

Graeme Shinnie is expecting Celtic to cause Rangers bother defensively during tomorrow's Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden. And the Aberdeen captain recalls his own challenging experience of facing Ange Postecoglou's men this season as he issued a warning to the Ibrox side.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle beat Falkirk 3-0 in the first last four tie and now all eyes are on the battle between Scotland's giants. Celtic have had the upper hand in the previous two derby matches including lifting the Viaplay Cup back in February, with the pressure on Light Blues boss Michael Beale to stop the Hoops winning another domestic Treble and try spur some positivity into what's been a disappointing campaign for Rangers.

Speaking on BBC 1 Scotland following the match, Shinnie said: "I think in these sort of games for Rangers against a team like Celtic who are very rampant in the league especially, you need to be tight defensively and give them nothing. I think that will be key for Rangers is being defensively solid. They've got players that are dangerous and they can win games. They know that. I think it will be key for them to defensively keep Celtic out."
