Fixture: Celtic vs Inverness Caledonian Thistle
Competition: Scottish Cup – Semi-final
Kick-off: 12:15 (UK time)
Celtic have announced their side to lock horns with Inverness in their Scottish Cup semi-final tie at Hampden Park this afternoon.
Bhoys boss Ronny Deila, who is hoping to lead his men one step closer to a historic treble of trophies, has picked Leigh Griffiths to lead the line, rewarding the striker for his midweek hat-trick heroics. Griffiths will be supported by the in-form Stefan Johansen, James Forrest and Kris Commons.
Nir Bitton and Scott Brown are aiming to dominate midfield for Celtic, while on the bench Deila can turn to John Guidetti if he needs to introduce further firepower throughout the course of the match. Stefan Scepovic is also an option from the bench.
Celtic played out a 1-1 draw in the Scottish Premiership with Inverness last weekend, but beat Kilmarnock 4-1 in midweek to warm up for the semi-final tie in style.
Celtic Team vs Inverness
Gordon; Matthews, Denayer, Van Dijk, Izaguirre; Brown, Bitton; Commons, Johansen, Forrest; Griffiths
Substitutes: Zaluska, Ambrose, Guidetti, Scepovic, Tonev, McGregor, Tierney
