Rangers and Celtic go head to head at Hampden Park in the Viaplay Cup final, but who should start for each team on Sunday?

Ange Postecoglou's side are aiming to retain the trophy against a Rangers side desperate to secure silverware for Michael Beale in his first final as a manager.

Both sides are in fine form going into the Hampden clash, having won their nine games since the sides drew 2-2 at Ibrox in January.

There are injury doubts for Beale's side as they look to win the Scottish League Cup for the first time since 2011, while there are questions about Celtic's starting line-up.

The big question for Rangers is will Malik Tillman be fit to face Celtic at the national stadium?

He and fellow midfielders John Lundstram and Ryan Jack missed Saturday's win over Livingston and have yet to return to training.
