Neil McCann tips Rangers endurance to see them past Celtic as he predicts Hampden nerve shredder

Neil McCann has tipped Rangers’ endurance to see them through to the end and lift the Viaplay Cup ahead of Celtic.

Michael Beale gets his first opportunity to lift silverware as a manager, while Ange Postecoglou has fond memories of the League Cup, with it being the first trophy he won as Hoops boss after beating Hibs at Hampden last year. Beale has won 13 of the 14 matches of his tenure after replacing Gio van Bronckhorst at Ibrox, with the only points dropped coming against their city rivals in a 2-2 draw at New Year.

The pair face each other at the national stadium for the first time since last season's Scottish Cup semi-final. Despite going ahead through Greg Taylor, Celtic were pegged back by a Scott Arfield strike before Fashion Sakala won it in extra-time for the Light Blues, who were taken beyond 90 minutes in the final by Hearts before eventually scoring twice to claim their first Scottish Cup win since 2009.
