### McInnes relishes Rangers-Celtic double-header

The League Cup was the last trophy Rangers won, in **2023**, and Mc Innes' only major silverware so far as a manager was in the same competition with Aberdeen in **2014**.

Mc Innes won cup and league medals as a Rangers player and he wants to make the Ibrox side "relevant" as they prepare to host Celtic in Sunday's cup quarter-final (**12:00 BST**) before a league encounter with the same opposition at Celtic Park seven days later.

"For us, what it presents is a tough cup tie but equally the fact that we've got it at Ibrox, at home," Mc Innes said. "We're **90 minutes** away from Hamden, we're three games away from lifting silverware. You've got to beat the good teams to win a trophy ordinarily and we've got a tough game."

"We've got to make it tough for Celtic as well and I think they'll expect a tough match and that's what we intend to give them but it's got all the makings of a brilliant cup tie. We just need to bring a performance now that gives us the chance to win it and then hopefully progress through the tournament."

Mc Innes went on to urge his player not to "get caught up in the fixture". He explained: "It's easier said than done and normally when you think you've got time to play, you normally don't and you've got to move the ball quickly and be ready for Celtic's press, the intensity. There's a lot of duels to be won, there's a lot of individual battles to be won but a bit of fire and ice at the right times can help matters. We recognise Celtic are a good team who have been the main title winners and the team that's picked up more trophies than any other club in recent years. We just want to make sure that we give ourselves a chance to be relevant domestically again in terms of winning trophies and Sunday gives us a chance to take a step towards that."
