Celtic secured their spot in the League Cup final scheduled for December after delivering an emphatic defeat to Aberdeen at Hampden on Saturday. Their commanding performance left no doubt about their readiness for the final. Meanwhile, Rangers joined Celtic in the final a day later, but their journey was much more challenging. After going down early in the first half against Motherwell, they had to fight hard to come back, eventually winning the semi-final 2-1.

In the aftermath of Rangers’ victory, Philippe Clement expressed concern about the upcoming challenge of facing Celtic in just over a month. He acknowledged the difficulties teams face in maintaining peak performance every few days, citing Aberdeen’s recent struggles against both teams. Clement emphasized that Celtic is a formidable opponent, demonstrating their strength both domestically and in Europe. He recognized the upcoming match as a significant challenge, expressing his determination to rise to it.

Since Clement took over as Rangers’ boss in October 2023, Celtic has dominated their encounters, winning four of the five matches they’ve played against each other. In their most recent clash on September 1, 2024, Celtic once again asserted their dominance with a 3-0 victory, sending a clear message to their rivals early in the season.

Initially, there was division among fans regarding Beale’s appointment as Sunderland’s manager, particularly as the team struggled with inconsistency during the early stages of his tenure. However, recent weeks have showcased Beale’s capabilities, demonstrating not only his ability to hold his ground but also his knack for influencing crucial moments in matches. His halftime team talk proved pivotal in igniting a resurgence from the hosts early in the second half, while his strategic substitutions throughout the game proved to be effective. Bellingham, for instance, was initially rested and placed on the bench but made a significant impact upon being brought on, swiftly scoring Sunderland’s third goal just two minutes later, effectively sealing the victory. Looking ahead to upcoming fixtures, Beale has issued a challenge to his team, emphasizing the importance of maintaining their current momentum as they prepare for two crucial away games.
