Graeme Souness says his memories of a chaotic 1986 League Cup final tell him to expect drama when Rangers meet Celtic at Hampden.
The pair collide in the Viaplay Cup final for the first time since 2019, when a controversial Christopher Jullien goal sealed a 1-0 Hoops win. The strike prompted a major offside debate and Souness has his own memory from his time at Ibrox and when the competition was called the Skol Cup.
Mo Johnston was at Celtic - prior to his controversial switch across the city - and received a red card, with Tony Shepherd's dismissal rescinded on the park. A Davie Cooper penalty won the day 2-1 for Rangers and despite a nine-point gap between Ange Postecoglou's holders to Michael Beale's Rangers challenger, Souness writes in his Daily Mail column that fireworks may appear. He said: "You may recall that the Scottish League Cup was known as the Skol Cup back in 1986 when I competed for it against Celtic with Rangers. It may not sound that grand but please don't be fooled.
