Fashion Sakala has pulled no punches ahead of Sunday's Viaplay Cup final calling opponents Celtic 'the other mob'.
The Zambian was part of Rangers pre-match press build-up for the big game at Hampden that will see Michael Beale's unbeaten side take on Ange Postecoglou's cup holders. Both managers are on varying lengths of a run without defeat with a tantalising clash set for Sunday afternoon at the national stadium.
And while there have been plenty of jibes kicking around in the last few weeks, most notably Chris Sutton and Beale's war of words of late, Sakala seems to be drumming up some battle fever also. The Zambian called the Scottish champions 'the other mob' when quizzed on the game.

He said: “Obviously I know how important the game is when you play against the other mob. It’s all about the badge and I don’t even think about my performance, the most important thing is getting the win for the fans and the club.
"The impact I brought into the last game was good for the squad but I'm looking for more great performances. We going to give everything and fight for the win to get the trophy."
