It was the first trophy of the Ange Postecoglou era at Celtic and proved to be the catalyst to Scottish Premiership success under the Parkhead boss. But can the Hoops now retain the Scottish League Cup?
Celtic can move a step closer to achieving that aim as they take on Kilmarnock in the first of the two Viaplay Cup semi-final showdowns at Hampden. Derek McInnes will be hoping his Ayrshiremen - winners in 2012 - can succeed where they failed in losing 2-0 at Parkhead in their dress rehearsal last week.
It's a neutral venue although it probably won't feel like it inside the National Stadium with Celtic having the majority of the support. Killie captain Alan Power says he enjoys being the underdog but it would be a huge upset if they claimed victory to book their place in the final on February 26. Here, we ask the Record Sport writers to make their predictions for Sunday's encounter.
