Celtic have confirmed their starting line-up and substitutes to lock horns with Albion Rovers in the Scottish Cup as the side's cup journey for the season kicks off this afternoon.
Brendan Rodgers' men are unbeaten domestically this season and have already won the Scottish League Cup, while they also sit a whopping 19 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, with a game in hand.
League One side Albion Rovers are eyeing causing a massive shock and Rodgers has vowed to take the fixture seriously. To get the job done, the Celtic manager picks Moussa Dembele to lead the attack, with Scott Sinclair, Stuart Armstrong and James Forrest in support. Nir Bitton and Scott Brown look to boss midfield, while the centre-back pairing is Dedryck Boyata and Mikael Lustig.
On the bench, the Celtic manager can bring on Patrick Roberts if needed, while Ryan Christie and Gary Mackay-Steven are also attack minded options.
