The holders begin the defence of their trophy with a tricky trip down the M77 for a lunchtime clash.
Derek McInnes appeared so close to becoming Rangers manager but turned them down when he was Aberdeen boss six years ago. The 52-year-old was part of the historic nine-in-a-row Ibrox squad and Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers beleives he could still lead his old club in the future.
I like Derek a lot. He’s a good football man who is honest and wants to develop players. There’s no doubt that he’s good enough to manage a top club again. He’s good with players and he knows what he wants. He was very close to getting the Rangers job a few years ago and why couldn’t he manage Rangers? He’s a former player there, a very good player, who was part of a successful era for the club.Sometimes you’re under-valued when you’re a British coach, especially if you’re home-grown. But if you look at somebody’s body of work over time, you can see what they are.
“And you can see that with Derek. His teams are always up there with the best organised in the country - and really competitive. To have that, you must have a way about you with players, especially when you’re able to do it consistently. Derek has shown all of those qualities.
