Outspoken pundit Simon Jordan openly shared his desire for Rangers to triumph over Celtic and lift the Scottish Cup, despite acknowledging that Brendan Rodgers’ team is heavily favored in the upcoming clash. Fellow pundit Martin Keown echoed this sentiment, predicting a dominant victory for Celtic by “a country mile.” Both teams have the opportunity to secure a Double at Hampden on Saturday, with Celtic already clinching the Scottish title and Rangers claiming the League Cup earlier in the season.
As anticipation builds for the blockbuster derby showdown between the Glasgow rivals, Jim White sparked a spirited discussion on talkSPORT about who would emerge victorious at the national stadium. Keown confidently asserted that Celtic would be the clear winner at Mount Florida, citing their significant lead over Rangers and lackluster performances from the Light Blues in previous matches against Celtic.
While Jordan acknowledged Celtic as the favorites, he expressed hope that Rangers could pull off an upset. Emphasizing the rivalry between the two clubs and the excitement surrounding the match, Jordan recognized the historical significance of both sets of fans being present at the stadium. Despite his prediction of a Celtic win, Jordan expressed optimism for a competitive and respectful atmosphere between the supporters.
