Scottish League Cup

Did he? I didn't watch, I didn't watch Scottish football this weekend, Mark.

Uh, his, his Rangers team beat Celtic 3-0 in the Scottish League Cup quarterfinals already.

[laughs]

September, they're into the semi.

Yeah, Rangers beat, um, Rangers beat Celtic at the weekend, uh, in the Premier Sports Cup or some ...

Yeah, it's the Scottish League Cup.

It's the Premier Sports League Cup or whatever it's called now.

Ultimately though, Celtic are five points clear in the league, and if Rangers win a league cup then, you know, great for them, but Celtic prefer- The league and the Scottish FA Cup.

The midfield area seems that needs addressed massively, and I don't know who's, throughout the season, who's going to be your sort of three in there or...

Innit unbelievable how quickly football can change in a week or two? Because, like, I mean, let, let's call a spade a spade, right? If Rangers lost today, they were out of League Cup, they were out of Europe, and they lost next week and they're eight points behind, there would have been massive pressure on Derek McInnes wouldn't there? Aye.

But if you hink a new sh- Celtic are out the Champions League, out the League Cup, and if Rangers are going to win at Celtic Park, then I'm not saying, I'm not saying for a minute that McInnes will have lost his job, and I'm not saying for a minute if that happens that Martin O'Neill's going to lose his job.

But in terms of like fan pressure and the narrative completely changing, it'll, it'll be just so different in terms of the context of the season.

Where are you standing on the league now? A lot made up to us if Rangers to get back into it.

Yeah.

But as they've done that in a league...

Somebody told me the other day, this needs fact-checked, that Celtic have never beat Rangers at Ibrox in the League Cup.

That game gets underway at 8 o'clock.

Rangers boss Derek McInnes says their performance in the 3-0 victory over Celtic Theresa semi-finals of the Scottish League Cup is a good reference point going forward.

Running the hard yards, winning challenges, being strong one-to-ones, strikers getting a hold of the ball, being horrible to play against, centre-halves and dealing with 1v1s, midfielders doing fuller running.

You know, we scored good goals at a good time, something we've not been doing.

didn't like it he didn't like that at all

no he tried to give the ref a hug as well and the ref ghosted him right we have ghosted him what have we got next Scottish Premier or sorry Scottish League Cup I should

say yeah Martin O'Neill says they have much to learn from their 3-0 defeat at Rivals Rangers yesterday which means they miss out in the place in the semi-finals of the Scottish League Cup Rangers now go up against Aberdeen in the last four There's also going to be an Edinburgh derby on the other side of the draw at Hampden when Hibs face Hearts for a place in the decider in December.

We have John Martin and some audio from him speaking.

Yeah, some

We'll be talking to Andy Mitten very, very shortly about all of that.

We'll finish off with the other big game from the weekend, and that was Celtic Rangers in the Scottish League Cup.

Magov 91, all three points for a cup match, and lads, it's early.

It's Monday morning.

Let me... let me have one mistake in me across the show for this morning you've

set yourself up now big time let me have one mistake you're 31 minutes in you've got another hour and a half to go it's a long way to go it's a

long way to go this was a bad result for Martin O'Neill he said that it was a wake up call for some of his players and Derek McInnes a much needed win for his side he was under severe pressure going into this now they do play each other in the league next week so again we could be sitting here in about a week's time being like well Derek McKiss is under pressure there was a big result for Martin O'Neill on his side so look Rangers are through the next round they're through to the semi-final of the Scottish League Cup and they've left a marker on Celtic going forward for the season now so a little bit of doubt creeping in at Parkhead for Martin O'Neill and his side so this was just a horrendous result for Celtic Keith

Yeah, it really was a horrendous result.

Yeah, Rangers beat, um, Rangers beat Celtic at the weekend, uh, in the Premier Sports Cup or some...

Yeah, it's the Scottish League Cup.

It's the Premier Sports League Cup or whatever it's called now.

Ultimately, though, Celtic are five points clear in the league.
