With the Old Firm rivals meeting on Saturday afternoon, this year’s Scottish Cup trophy will be up for grabs when Celtic and Rangers meet at Hampden.
Starting with Celtic, while Brendan Rodgers might have found plenty of pressure on his shoulders this season, the Hoops have made more domestic history. Defending their Premiership crown and continuing to shine over the past few months, the former Leicester boss is within touching distance of completing another domestic sweep. Last seen signing off the 2023/24 campaign with an action-packed 3-2 victory against St. Mirren, the Scottish giants have won all of their previous seven appearances across all competitions. Extending on their Scottish Cup adventure last month as the…
He told Forest TV: “It’s most definitely a step in the right direction. I would never say ‘turned a corner’ because it is only one game and we need to remember than one game doesn’t make four or five.
“We need to work ahead and it’s not going to guarantee that we’re going to play well in the next game. We have to make sure we play well in the next game. It’s only on us as players and staff – and the fans getting behind us, that really helps.
“But I’m sure it will be bouncing, the City Ground, come the 30th.”
Forest showed real character as well as flair and deadly finishing on Tyneside as they fought back from Alexander Isak’s 23rd-minute penalty to level when Wood tapped home from the impressive Anthony Elanga’s pinpoint cross.

Inter moved six points clear at the Serie A summit as a brace from Alexis Sanchez sealed a 2-1 win away at struggling Parma on Thursday.
Scudetto rivals Milan were held to a 1-1 draw by Udinese on Wednesday and Antonio Conte s side took full advantage of that slip up to move closer to a first league title since the 2009-10 campaign.
Sanchez, who scored in the weekend win over Genoa, set Inter on their way to a sixth consecutive top-flight win with his fourth league goal of the campaign nine minutes into the second half.
The former Manchester United player added another eight minutes later as Inter, who gave the hosts hope of salvaging a draw when Hernani scored 19 minutes from full time, claimed yet another three points to pull away from…
Inter showed just how much they have grown this season with their 2-1 win over Sassuolo on Wednesday, according to head coach Antonio Conte.
The Nerazzurri moved 11 points clear at the top of Serie A with the victory, sealed through goals from Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez in each half – their only two on-target attempts of the contest.
Hamed Junior Traore deservedly pulled one back for Sassuolo with a late strike, but the league leaders held on to become the second side in Serie A history – after Milan in 1989-90 – to win their first 10 games in the second half of a campaign.
Inter recorded their lowest possession rate (30 per cent) in a Serie A match since Opta records began in 2004-05 and were outdone on shots by Sassuolo 15 to seven.

Cristiano Ronaldo is convinced his move to Manchester United will be a big thing in the next three or four years and insists he is not here for a vacation .
The former Real Madrid forward netted 118 times in 292 appearances across all competitions for United, lifting three Premier League trophies and the Champions League during a glorious six-year spell between 2003 and 2009.
The Portugal captain returned to Manchester earlier in the week for the first time since his arrival from Juventus, after breaking Ali Daei s all-time international scoring record against the Republic of Ireland with his 110th and 111th goals for his country.
Speaking exclusively to former team-mate Wes Brown in an interview with United s official website, Ronaldo declared his return is not …
Rafael Leao is very happy in Italy, according to his father, though he also credited Barcelona, Real Madrid and Chelsea with an interest in his son.
The Milan forward was named the best player in Serie A last season after his 11 goals in 34 games helped the Rossoneri win their first Scudetto since 2010-11.
Leao s contract at San Siro expires in 2024, with a number of Europe s top clubs consistently being credited with an interest in him, and his father has named three of them but also did not rule out an extension at Milan.
In an interview with Record, Antonio Leao said: He feels very comfortable in Milan because the cultures are similar. The Italian club has done a lot for him, but he has become the best player in that league. He is simply the best.

Tayfun Korkut has been rewarded for guiding Stuttgart to a seventh-place finish in the Bundesliga with a new two-year contract.
Korkut, 44, was appointed in January with Stuttgart 14th in the table, initially signing an 18-month deal.
But few would have predicted the impact of the Stuttgart-born former Turkey international, as he presided over nine wins in 14 Bundesliga games, suffering just one defeat in that time.
And sporting director Michael Reschke has no doubt that Korkut and his staff are deserving of their extensions after a quite exceptional start to life at the club.
VfB have extended the contracts with head coach Tayfun Korkut, as well as his assistant coaches Ilija Aracic and Steven Cherundolo, until June 30th, 2020.

Manchester City will attempt to celebrate a landmark game for Pep Guardiola by securing a fourth consecutive win over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday.
The eagerly awaited derby will be Guardiola s 500th match as a top-flight manager in an incredible trophy-laden career.
Of more importance for the City boss will be claiming a victory that would leave the champions only two points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal, who face a derby of their own at Tottenham on Sunday.
The Red Devils were hammered 6-3 when the two sides met at the Etihad Stadium in October, with Guardiola s men having done the double over their fierce rivals last season.
Fourth-placed United are flying under Erik ten Hag, though, and a win over City – who suffered a shock…
Pablo Mastroeni believes Real Salt Lake s mindset has been the key to their long unbeaten run, which they will look to extend to 13 matches when they host Austin FC on Saturday.
RSL made it 12 MLS games without defeat in dramatic circumstances on Wednesday, as Andres Gomez scored nine minutes into stoppage time in a 1-1 draw with the Seattle Sounders.
Salt Lake remained two points clear of LA Galaxy at the top of the Western Conference with what was their third straight comeback, following a 5-3 win over the Colorado Rapids and a 3-3 draw at FC Dallas – who had led by three goals.
I think one of the things we pride ourselves on is being a team that shows a strong mindset, Mastroeni said this week.
You can use it in all aspects of life, it s five per c…
