Interim manager Martin O'Neill expects to be at Celtic on a short-term basis but would be open to talks over an extended stay after leading the holders to the Premier Sports Cup final.

Rangers have questioned the selection of two officials as video assistant referees (VARs) for the upcoming round of Scottish Premiership action after the pair in question failed to award a penalty in their Scottish League Cup final defeat to Celtic.

Celtic beat Rangers in a pulsating Scottish League Cup final to claim the trophy after a rollercoaster contest that was eventually decided on penalties.
