Manager Ange Postecoglou has named his Celtic team vs Ross County in the Scottish Premeirship today.
The full match squad is as follows:
Starting XI – Hart, Ralston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor, McGregor, Hatate, O’Riley, Jota, Maeda, Kyogo.
Substitutes – Bain, Scales, McCarthy, Forrest, Welsh, Rogic, Abada, Turnbull, Giakoumakis.
The big news is obviously that Kyogo Furuhashi returns to the starting eleven for the first time since December.
Giorgos Giakoumakis is also back on the bench after missing last week’s semi-final.
In total there are three changes from last week’s Hampden clash with Matt O’Riley and Anthony Ralston also coming into the team.
It’s a must-win game today to keep our comfortable buffer in the title race and with the strength of this team, you’d expect it to happen.

Instant verdict on Celtic team vs Ross County
It’s absolutely fantastic to see Kyogo back in amongst it from the start. Postecoglou must have been impressed with what he’s seen from the Japanese talent in training this week.
We also have an excellent plan B on the bench with Giakoumakis available should we need him.
O’Riley coming back into the midfield will be popular with Celtic supporters. He’s been bright off the bench in recent weeks and can hopefully add that spark we need to break down Malky Mackay’s side.
We’re in good shape here and must have faith the team can get the job done. Kick-off can’t come soon enough!
