OLD FIRM JURY
Our top writers give their verdicts on the burning issues as Rangers keep up their derby dominance over Celtic with a big win in the Scottish Cup last 16 WHERE was the Old Firm Scottish Cup clash won and lost?

THE moment Ryan Kent left Scott Brown in his slipstream to run at the heart of Celtic’s defence, even if it was Steve Davis who applied a spectacular finishing touch. But the truth is, Rangers never looked like giving up that lead.
IN the six inches between the ears of the Rangers players. The Ibrox men were clinical and streetwise, Celtic ragged and unconvincing in front of goal. Gers punished Celtic’s left flank but it is a psychological advantage Gerrard’s men have right now.
GAME changers Joe Aribo and Kent were the men who mattered for Rangers while Celtic’s creative sparks failed to turn up. The biggest impact from the Ibrox duo, as well as Allan McGregor’s brilliance, was the difference.
IN both boxes. Rangers have a clinical edge that Celtic cannot match at both ends of the park right now.
