Ange Postecoglou makes five changes to the Celtic side that beat Hibs in midweek for today’s Scottish Cup tie against Alloa. 

Tony Ralston, Stephen Welsh and Liam Scales come into the defence, Yosuke Ideguchi makes his first start in midfield with Giorgos Giakoumakis coming into the attack. 

Tom Rogic and Daizen Maeda have been named in international squads in the last few days both start tonight’s game before missing three critical SPFL matches. 

Chris Jullien is in the squad for the first time in a year with Nir Bitton back involved after missing out on the 2-0 win over Hibs. 

Most eyes will be on Giakoumakis who looks certain to lead the line against Hearts on Wednesday night when Celtic return to Tynecastle where they lost on the opening day of the season. 

CELTIC: Hart; Ralston, Welsh, Starfelt, Scales; McGregor, Ideguchi, Rogic; Abada, Giakoumakis, Maeda 

SUBS: Bain, Jullien, Taylor, Bitton, McCarthy, Jota, Hatate, Forrest, Juranovic
