Kyogo Furuhashi is named as a substitute for today’s Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden.Â
Injury to Giorgos Giakoumakis has forced Ange Postecoglou to make one change with Liel Abada in from the start with Daizen Maeda playing through the centre.Â
Giovanni van Bronckhorst has pulled a surprise by picking Jon McLaughlin to play his fourth match of the year with Allan McGregor dropped to the bench. McLaughlin has started the three previous Scottish Cup ties.
Other than that one enforced change it is the same starting XI that has featured in Celtic’s last four matches including the 2-1 win at Ibrox on April 3.Â
With nine substitutes allowed Stephen Welsh and Chris Jullien are on the bench alongside James Forrest who has missed the last three matches.Â
Today’s match will be played to a conclusion with the winners facing Hearts in the final on May 21 at Hampden. Â
Bobby Madden is today’s referee, his seventh Celtic match of the season but his first since the February 3 Glasgow Derby under the lights at Celtic Park.Â
CELTIC: Hart; Juranovic, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor; McGregor, Hatate, Rogic, Abada, Maeda, JotaÂ
SUBS Bain Jullien, Kyogo, Turnbull, McCarthy, Johnston, Ideguchi, O’Riley, Forrest, Ralston, WelshÂ
