It’s the biggest tie anyone could have asked for in the Scottish Cup.
Celtic drew Rangers in the quarter-finals and will look to deny their Ibrox rivals a chance to win silverware.
That game will bring the curtain down on a season-defining run of games for the Hoops and two Glasgow derbies in the space of a week.
Winning both of these games are vital, but those who were around will notice that there is a very familiar feeling to a meeting that took place in 1991.

What do you make of Celtic’s Scottish Cup quarter-final draw at Rangers?
Why Rangers vs Celtic’s upcoming meeting is so similar to 1991
Those who remember Rangers vs Celtic’s 1991 league fixture will know it has a different name called the ‘St. Patrick’s Day Massacre’.
The Hoops won that game 2-0 while Rangers had three, yes three, players sent off.
It came at a time where tensions between supporters and the board were very similar to what we are experiencing right now.
Chants of ‘sack the board’ were a common theme at the time, just like we are seeing with the recent boycott and calls for Michael Nicholson to go.
A saviour was needed at that time and in the current climate, that person is Martin O’Neill and he will be tasked with uniting the club and the fanbase together to get the Bhoys over the line.
