James Forrest has failed a fitness test and misses out on Celtic’s Scottish Cup tie at Ibrox.

Ryan Christie comes in for the winger with Diego Laxalt replacing Greg Taylor in defence in the two changes from the side that won 6-0 last week against Livingston. There are places on the bench from Adam Montgomery and Gary Ralston with Shane Duffy missing out.

Celtic travel to Ibrox undefeated in the six matches with Kennedy in charge with just one goal lost.

That goal was from a set-piece in the March Glasgow Derby with Celtic fans hoping that that aspect of the game has been dramatically tightened up.

Moi Elyounoussi is the only Celtic player to scored in the Derby match this season with the on-loan Southampton winger on form last week with a double in the 6-0 win over Livingston.

CELTIC: Bain; Kenny, Welsh, Ajer, Laxalt; Brown, McGregor; Christie, Turnbull, Elyounoussi; Edouard

SUBS: Barkas, Taylor, Bitton, Griffiths, Ajeti, Soro, Rogic, Montgomery, Ralston

Bobby Madden is the match referee.
