After a spell where it wasn’t too difficult to pick Brendan Rodgers first choice side the hoops boss has some big decisions to make for the Betfred Cup Final against Aberdeen.

The loss of Scott Sinclair added to Kieran Tierney’s injury means that the left side of the team will be entirely reshaped which could lead to a change in formation to provide a more solid backline.

There is no obvious replacement for Sinclair- James Forrest and Patrick Roberts are more orthodox wingers while the former Villa man prefers to cut in and offer support to forwards.

Tom Rogic’s inability to last 90 minutes is a concern which could see the Australian put on the bench a a very definite impact sub alongside Roberts.

Whatever the team selection, Rodgers makes full use of his squad and isn’t afraid to change his tactics as the game demands- the sort of flexibility needed to bring home the first trophy of the season- and Celtic’s well earned 100th piece of silverware.
