Many people believe that whoever wins today’s semi-final between Celtic and Rangers will go on to lift the Premier Sports Cup.
But Mandron is having none of that as he shares who his team want out of the two teams in next month’s showdown.
Mandron told The Herald, “When you go in a final, you are in it to win it. Whoever we play next, we are going there to win it, for sure.
“I don’t care who we play. It doesn’t matter at all. That is up there with the best games of my career, for sure.
“But winning the final would surpass it.”
