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.

In the aftermath of Rangers’ victory, Philippe Clement expressed concern about the upcoming challenge of facing Celtic in just over a month.

Clement emphasized that Celtic is a formidable opponent, demonstrating their strength both domestically and in Europe.

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.
