It will be a bit between Brendan Rodgers‘ teeth that last season’s Premier Sports Cup remains the only time a domestic trophy has escaped him in Scotland.
And the Celtic boss will be determined to put that right by shooting down Falkirk to book a trip to the national stadium for the semi-finals. It’s a battle of the Invincibles, in a sense. The Hoops have been flawless on all fronts this season, while John McGlynn‘s Bairns were undefeated League One winners last term and have started their return to the Championship like a bat out of hell with four straight wins.
They face almighty odds travelling to the home of the Premiership champions, but having worked under Rodgers at Parkhead during his first season in charge, veteran coach McGlynn will be hoping to spring a surprise. Celtic though have yet to even stumble with seven straight wins across all competitions, and even though they’re expected to rotate after their Champions League victory during the week, they will be confident of another victory here.
