And while he knows Celtic start as huge Hampden favourites, McCoist believes the gap between the Old Firm rivals is closing.

He said: “I think Rangers are in a better position now than they have been for a wee while.

“They are still a considerable bit behind Celtic, who are the best team in the country by a mile.

“That said, I think Rangers have shown enough improvement to indicate that they’ll make a game of it.

“I think the Rangers supporters will have a lot more hope and belief than they had a few months ago.

“Not even the diehard fans would have been looking forward to it then, but there’s a belief and a bit of hope now.

“In Old Firm games the favourites don’t always win. Rangers will be motivated by the new manager.”
