Fixture: East Kilbride vs Celtic
Competition: Scottish Cup
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)
Celtic have officially announced their side and substitutes for this afternoon's Scottish Cup tie against minnows East Kilbride.
Bhoys manager Ronny Deila, who is under pressure following his side's midweek defeat at Aberdeen, has chosen to hand a start to new signing Colin Kazim-Richards, while Erik Sviatchenko and Dedryck Boyata provide the central defensive pairing. Gary Mackay-Steven also plays, as does Scott Brown, while Charlie Mulgrew is in the starting line-up.
In attack, Celtic look to Leigh Griffiths to shoot down the minnows, while Deila can turn to young Ryan Christie off the bench if needed, while Scott Allan is another option for the Bhoys.
Celtic were knocked out of the League Cup last weekend by Ross County and they suffered a damaging defeat to Aberdeen in midweek to pile further pressure on Deila. Defeat for the Bhoys today could spell the end of the Norwegian's reign at Celtic Park.
Celtic Team vs East Kilbride
Bailly; Ambrose, Boyata, Sviatchenko, Tierney; Mackay-Steven, Brown, Mulgrew, Forrest; Kazim-Richards, Griffiths
