So the Scottish Cup final comes "early" for Celtic because the "odds on favourite" for this trophy is on this side of the draw with Celtic in "pole position" with players like Rogic, McGregor and Christie all gradually returning at the right time and competing for places. I think Rangers would be the preferred choice as their defence is definitely "there for the taking" and Rangers are collectively not as good as many people seem to think they are. As for the Dons? They are normally defensively resolute but are still susceptible to lapses of concentration that reflect on their current lower position in the Premiership although still reasonably healthy if one considers injuries and loss of players. I think this cup tie will define Celtic's push for the "triple treble" and an end of season party at Hampden Park.
