After months of anticipation, Euro 2024 will reach its climax this week with the semi final stage beginning this evening as Spain face France in Munich.
With tournament hosts Germany already home, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal’s dumped out and reigning champions Italy sent packing at the last 16 stage, the trophy is up for grabs and the remaining four nations will be looking to their star names to shoot them to the glory.
Former Celtic stars Virgil van Dijk and Jeremie Frimpong are two such players that the Netherlands will be hoping can produce the goods against England in the second semi final on Wednesday. However, they aren’t the only ex-Old Firm favourites that have taken part in a European Championship semi final before. Could you name them all?
Here are 14 former Rangers and Celtic players that have played in a Euros semi final for their nation - with are some real surprises on both sides of the divide.
9. Jan Wouters - Euro 1988
While he never played for Rangers, he was assistant to both Dick Advocaat and Alex McLeish at Ibrox during the early 2000s. Unlike other Dutch players on this list, Wouters tasted victory in his Euro 1988 semi final, where the Netherlands defeated Germany 2-1 before going on to win the final against USSR to claim their first, and only, European Championship trophy. | Getty Images

12. Aaron Ramsey - Euro 2016
He spent a disappointing six months at Rangers a few seasons back, but is remembered far more fondly by Wales fans. He played a key role in their memorable run to the Euro 2016 semis, where they eventually lost to Portugal. | Alex Pantling Photo: Alex Pantling
