Ange Postecoglou appears relaxed over the injuries suffered by Kyogo Furuhashi and Alistair Johnston today.

After scoring twice in the first half Kyogo took a knock to his ankle early in the second half and was replaced by Oh Hyeon-gyu.

Johnston was back in the side after four matches out, all seemed to be going well until he needed treatment in the 64th minute with Tony Ralston sent on from the bench.

It was the only downside to a near perfect day but speaking to The Sun Postecoglou didn’t seem overly worried about the injuries:

I don’t think it’s anything serious with Kyogo. I’ve spoken to the medical guys and we’ll see how it settles down. But at this stage, with it being a cup final…

It’s the same for Alistair Johnston who also came off. He felt his injury lock but I didn’t think we’d get 90 minutes out of him today anyway. He was brilliant for the time he was on so, again, we’ll assess it but watching him jump around the dressing-room afterwards, they all seem OK.

Sead Haksabanovic missed today’s match but is with a chance of being fit for the Scottish Cup Final at Hampden on Saturday, a back injury looks like ruling Aaron Mooy out on the clash with Inverness Caley Thistle.

Cameron Carter-Vickers will definitely miss the match at Hampden with the timeline for his rehab running close towards the start of next season.
