Celtic players practice penalties ahead of Sunday's quarter-final at Ibrox

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill confirmed his squad is practicing spot-kicks in preparation for the Premier Sports Cup quarter-final against Rangers on Sunday. The match at Ibrox follows a historical trend, as the previous three cup encounters between these two clubs have reached extra-time, with two of those contests decided by penalty shootouts. Celtic emerged victorious in both of those previous penalty sessions. O'Neill noted that while training cannot replicate the atmosphere or pressure of a full stadium, the practice sessions are a standard procedure for his squad in cup competitions. The manager also addressed the recent form of Rangers, noting that the team has won four consecutive games under manager Derek McInnes. Celtic expects a robust and strong performance from their opponents in the upcoming match.
