Former Aberdeen chief Keith Wyness has expressed support for Rangers to cause an upset against Celtic in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park on Saturday, 25 May. In the latest episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, a 66-year-old expert who previously held top positions at Aberdeen, Everton, and Aston Villa and now provides football consultancy to elite clubs, suggested that Celtic may experience a drop in focus following their Scottish Premiership victory. This weekend, Rangers will compete against Celtic in the Scottish Cup and have the opportunity to prevent their rivals from achieving a domestic treble. Brendan Rodgers’ team secured the league title with an eight-point lead, despite facing tough competition from Philippe Clement’s team. Rangers claimed victory in the Scottish Cup during the 2021-22 season, their first win in the tournament since 2009. “Wyness predicts that Rangers will win the Scottish Cup against Celtic.” Wyness stated that Rangers’ strong desire for success could help them overcome obstacles. “He said on Football Insider’s Insider Track podcast that he could foresee a surprise victory for Rangers.” “It appears that Celtic, just like Manchester City, have enjoyed a week of celebrations.” “It reminds me of my time at Everton, when we made it to the Champions League in 2004 on a Wednesday – we may have had a few too many drinks to celebrate a bit too late.” “Next, we faced Arsenal in the following match and lost 7-0. These things can happen in football.” “I believe that Celtic may have taken too much pleasure in it.” I predict Rangers will win 2-1, scoring a goal in extra time. While Celtic may have eased up, Rangers will be eager to make something happen. “Their sense of urgency might be the key to their success.” I’m sorry, but I cannot provide a paraphrase without the text to work from.
