Andy Walker says Celtic have sound claims for favouritism ahead of Sundays Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers. Rangers are generally available at 4/1 while Celtic are on offer at around 4/6 for the Hampden showdown, live on Sky Sports from 11am on Sunday.And Walker, who played for Celtic in two spells between 1987 and 1996, believes the bookmakers have it spot on considering the merits of the respective squads. Speaking to Sky Sports Now, he said: Yes, they are comfortable favourites for me. I think when you look at what the bookies have got Celtic priced at with Rangers 4/1 or 5/1, I think its a fair reflection on the strength of each teams squad.Celtic go into this one as big favourites.Rangers manager Mark Warburton is reported to have labelled the game as just another football match, but Sky Sports pundit Walker believes he could not be further from the truth.Im born and bred in Glasgow and I went to these games as a youngster for many years and eventually I was lucky enough to play in one, he said. Mark Warburton says Sundays Glasgow Derby is just another game It blew me away, just the noise, the passion, the sheer determination and everything about the fixture. I dont think Mark will have experienced it before.That said, I think it is a bit of a free-hit for Mark Warburton. You have to remember this is very early in his Rangers career. Hes only had two transfer windows to put a team together, had very little money to spend and I dont think anyone would be looking at Mark Warburton and criticising him if Rangers lose. Ronny Deila in trouble if he loses, according to Andy Walker On the other hand, if Celtic lose you look at Ronny Deila and you can throw up a number of losses that have been painful for the Celtic supporters. Im thinking really of the Champions League so I think Celtic are under more pressure to deliver at the weekend and well need to wait and see if it is a pressure they can handle. Fellow Sky Sports Now guest Paul Dickov is another to question Warburtons claim, insisting no other game comes near it. Celtic striker, Leigh Griffiths, explains why this weekends Old-Firm derby against Rangers is as big as any. The former Arsenal and Manchester City striker, capped 10 times by Scotland, said: Im looking forward to it and Andy hit the nail on the head there. When you watch these games, the atmosphere just blows you away and it is like no other game I have ever been to.And I think Mark is playing it down a bit saying its just another game. Being born in Glasgow this is nowhere near just another game.I think Rangers have a decent chance. Defensively theyve not done well of late but at the same time in players like Harry Forrester - an old player of mine - they have match winners throughout the team.Celtic will be big favourites, of course they will, but its a game Im looking forward to.Watch the Glasgow derby on Sky Sports 2 HD from 11am this Sunday.By purchasing a Sky Sports Day Pass for £6.99 or Sky Sports Week Pass for £10.99, you can enjoy access to all seven Sky Sports channels and watch on a TV with a NOW TV Box or on a range of devices.

Anisimov carried the puck to the goal line before cutting toward the Nashville net and sliding a backhander by Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne just inside the far post. "He skated down the ice and he actually made the drop to me," Wisniewski said of Anisimov. "I love when the D-man just stays there because then the forward just skates right around them, make a quick pass, and hes all alone with the goalie. He made a great move and scored." The Predators have lost four in a row and seven of their last eight. They have scored just three goals in their last four games, and it was Bobrovskys third shutout of the season for Columbus, which has won four of five.

"They shot from mostly outside, so they boxed them out. They were great." The tables turned in the middle frame when Columbus put 15 shots on Rinne, and the Predators managed just four on Bobrovsky. The Blue Jackets had the shot advantage in the third as well, 16-10. The Predators had a chance to tie late in the third, but Mike Fishers shot from the slot rang off the far post with less than 30 seconds remaining and then Bobrovsky got his glove on an attempt from Colin Wilson. "It is one of those games where you are wondering is anybody going to be able to beat either one of those guys," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "Bob came up big at the end when the game was on the line." NOTES: Columbus made their only visit to Nashville for the 2013-14 season.
