in November after being set on a Premier Sports Cup collision course.

Celtic strolled into the last four with a 4-0 win over Partick Thistle to set up an Old Firm showdown with Motherwell taking on St Mirren in the other semi.

Rodgers is determined to put the record straight after going almost a year without a derby win.

Celtic triumphed in the League Cup Final last December but have lost two and drawn two of the last four Old Firm clashes = including the goalless draw in Govan last month.

Rodgers said: “I think I said it at the time, for both teams, Ibrox wasn't a great game to be honest.

“My only worry is Celtic but we weren't in our best place, even though in other times, if you go to Ibrox and you get a point it mighi be deemed OK.

“For me it was just about trusting the team and trusting how we work. More importantly, trusting the players, which I do and I can see the fluency starting to arrive.
