Team News: Kyogo starts at Hampden but Ralston misses out with four changes

Huddle

Kyogo Furuhashi returns to the Celtic side to start today’s League Cup Final against Hibs after two matches out with a hamstring injury.

Ange Postecoglou makes four changes to the side that beat Ross County 2-1 on Wednesday with goal hero Tony Ralston dropping out alongside Liam Scales, Nir Bitton and Adam Montgomery. Mikey Johnston joins Kyogo and Liel Abada in attack with Tom Rogic in midfield and Greg Taylor at left-back.

News about Kyogo will give the Celtic support a massive boost with the top scorer badly missed in the last two matches.

Owen Moffat, James McCarthy and Liam Scales make the bench, Kevin Nisbet is fit to start for Hibs who have preferred Lewis Stevenson to Josh Doig.

John Beaton is the man in charge at Hampden.

CELTIC: Hart; Juranovic, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor: McGregor, Turnbull, Rogic; Abada, Kyogo, Johnston

SUBS: Nain, Scales, Bitton, McCarthy, Shaw, Montomery, Ralston, Welsh, Moffat
