‘On fire’ Celtic will ‘never be arrogant’ – Brendan Rodgers

Rodgers, who had no injuries to report, says Celtic travel to Hampden “in good condition” having won the league “in a really good way”.

He added his team “have been on fire the last few months”. They have lost just once since late December, a 24-game run during which they have played Rangers three times – winning two and drawing the other.

Extending their recent derby dominance would mean a league and cup double for Rodgers, who has won eight of the available nine domestic honours on offer across two spells as Celtic manager.

But his priority is to deliver once again for the fanbase in a first Old Firm Scottish Cup final since 2002.

“For the supporters it’s everything,” Rodgers said. “They live their life for Celtic. To deliver it for them would be great.

“Any final is always a challenge, a Celtic-Rangers final is a great occasion, but for us it’s focusing on our game and how we can win it.”
