- Steven Gerrard should have a fully fit squad to choose from in his first cup final as a manager as he hopes to put an end to Celtic's streak of domestic trophies.
- The biggest debate is who sits in the midfield or starts on the flanks in order to protect the back four whilst also proving some attacking impetus.
- It's been well documented about Alfredo Morelos' struggles to score in this fixture. Rangers' hopes depend on their hotshot striker, could this be the match that the Colombian breaks his Old Firm duck?
- Three Celtic stars remain injured ahead of this League Cup final with defensive duo Hatem Elhamed and Jozo Simunovic out injured, along with Aussie winger Daniel Arzani.
- Therefore, Neil Lennon's only selection headache should really be at right back with both Jeremie Frimpong and Moritz Bauer both vying for contention.
- The Hoops should also be able to bring Mohamed Elyounoussi and Odsonne Edouard back into the fold despite Lewis Morgan filling in as a makeshift striker in recent matches.
