Ronny Deila knows about the Old Firm atmosphere from the their victory over Rangers last season It is the fourth time in a semi-final and the Scottish Cup is a cup we havent won in my time. I am really excited and looking forward to the game.Celtic comfortably beat Rangers 2-0 in their League Cup semi-final meeting last season in what was Deilas first match against the Championship side as boss. Since then, Mark Warburtons side have won their division and secured a place in the top flight of Scottish football. Erik Sviatchenko is facing a race against time to be fit for the Scottish Cup semi-final Deila admits he is looking forward to what he expects to be an unbelievable atmosphere at the national stadium.You dont have to come here to understand that rivalry, he said. I have seen it many times on television and heard about it. But when you are into it you see that it is even more than you see when you are outside.It was a big occasion and the atmosphere was unbelievable. Scottish football is at its best when you have Champions League nights and games like this.Rangers are very clear in the style they play and we are clear how we play so there is nothing new coming up. They are playing a totally different way now. Celtic manager Ronny Deila says his players will call upon their previous big-game experience for the Old Firm clash on Sunday Almost every game they have 70 per cent possession and we have 65 per cent so both teams are used to having the ball so we will see on Sunday who has control.I think the team who can defend very well and keep the ball at the same time has the best chance to win it.

Jarome Iginla and Zdeno Chara each had two goals, Tuukka Rask made 25 saves and the Bruins beat the Philadelphia Flyers 6-1 Saturday. Reilly Smith and Patrice Bergeron also had goals for the Bruins. The defending Eastern Conference champions are 3-0-1 since losing five of eight, and trail only Pittsburgh in the conference. "The more you can spread around the scoring, the tougher you are to defend," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "Its important to have. We like the fact that we are well-balanced and our scoring is spread around." Chara became the eighth Bruins player to reach double-digits in goals when he scored in the first period to make it 1-0. He also capped the scoring with another power-play goal. "I think its important we have a lot of contributions," Iginla said. "When you get in tight games, we feel we have a lot of guys who can find goals. You want a lot of different guys who can score and a lot of guys are feeling it." Claude Giroux scored a power-play goal for the slumping Flyers, whove lost four in a row. Theyre 2-5-2 in their last nine games, tumbling from second place in the division to eighth in the East. Its their worst stretch since a 1-7 start that saw coach Peter Laviolette fired three games into the season. "We need to be a consistent team and thats what we strive to be," coach Craig Berube said. "If you want to be a good team, a playoff team, a team that does something in the playoffs, you have to be consistent. You lose a few games and youre fragile. Thats what I see. But we can correct that and go in the right direction. Were a goood team.dddddddddddd Its a confidence thing for us." Steve Mason allowed four goals on 19 shots and was yanked for the second time in three starts since signing a contract extension last Saturday. The Bruins took a 1-0 lead on Charas first power-play goal in the first period. After Sean Couturier failed on a clearing attempt, David Krejci swung the puck around down low. Iginla passed it to Chara, who flipped a shot from a side angle that bounced off defenceman Braydon Coburns skate and went in. Iginla fired a slap shot from the right circle past Mason to make it 2-0 just 17 seconds before the first intermission. A turnover by defenceman Nicklas Grossmann led to Bostons third goal. Smith stepped around Grossmann and swiped at the puck, which hit the post, hit Mason and went in. "Teams cant just rely on shutting down one line when you have a lot of guys scoring," Smith said. "It stifles the defence and changes the game." Rask kept it 3-0 with his toughest save, a sliding glove stab going right to left to rob Jakub Voracek on a one-timer. Bergeron made it 4-0 minutes later, sending Mason to the bench. Giroux and Iginla traded power-play goals in the third. "We have to get better," Giroux said. "Were going away from how we want to be as a team and how we were winning games." NOTES: Rask earned his career-high 23rd win. ... Iginlas first goal was his first since Jan. 2, snapping an eight-game drought. ... Flyers D Andrej Meszaros was a healthy scratch despite his recent offensive production. RW Steve Downie also was benched. ... The Bruins are 43-35-12 in Philadelphia. Theyre the only team with a winning record on the road vs. the Flyers. ' ' '
