Ange Postecoglou has named his Celtic team vs Inverness CT for today’s Scottish Cup Final at Hampden.
The full match squad is as follows:
Starting XI – Hart, Johnston, Starfelt, Iwata, Taylor, McGregor, Hatate, O’Riley, Jota, Maeda, Kyogo.
Substitutes – Siegrist, Haksabanovic, Abada, Turnbull, Oh, Bernabei, Forrest, Ralston, Welsh.
Today’s the big one then. Celtic are shooting for their fifth treble in seven years and the eight in the club’s entire history. It would break a world record and send the tens of thousands of Bhoys supporters at Hampden home with jubilation in their hearts.
Postecoglou has made one change to the team that thrashed Aberdeen at Celtic Park last week. Daizen Maeda comes back into the eleven after suspension at the expense of Liel Abada.
Crucially, Kyogo Furuhashi has won his fitness battle and taken his place in the team. That’s a big boost to the Bhoys after the Japanese star missed training for much of the week.

Instant verdict on Celtic team vs Inverness CT
There are absolutely no complaints about today’s eleven. In fact, it’s exactly the same as the one we tipped to feature earlier this afternoon. Postecoglou has got the selection spot on.
Kyogo’s available, Reo Hatate is there to run the show and Alistair Johnston will help set the tone on the defensive side of the game. From back to front, Celtic are strong today.
The bench is looking lively too with goal-getting talents such as Hyeongyu Oh and Abada available to come on and change the game if it’s needed in the second half. Let’s make this a treble Celtic!
