Celtic penned another little footnote into Scottish football's history books as they eased their way into quarter-final of the Scottish Cup.
EVERY game and every week carries a level of significance when you are at Rangers. Having come through an especially important seven days unscathed, Steven Gerrard is now preparing for another potentially defining hat-trick of fixtures.
As preparations go, Celtic couldn’t have scripted a more morale-boosting performance ahead of their Europa League test against Valencia on Thursday night.
