Fixture: Celtic vs Aberdeen
Competition: Scottish Cup
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

Celtic have announced their starting line-up and substitutes to take on Aberdeen in the final of the Scottish Cup at Hampden this afternoon.

The Bhoys have already won the Premiership title and the League Cup and clinching the cup would book a domestic treble and also make sure the side complete a domestic season unbeaten.




Aberdeen have Ryan Christie on loan from Celtic, but due to the terms of the agreement he is unavailable to face his parent club.

To take on Derek McInnes' men, Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has Craig Gordon between the sticks, while at the back he names Dedryck Boyata and Jozo Simunovic as the central defensive pairing. Scott Brown will look to control midfield, while Stuart Armstrong bids to break forward. Patrick Roberts, Callum McGregor and Scott Sinclair support Leigh Griffiths up top.

If Rodgers needs to try to change the game at any point, he can turn to Moussa Dembele off the bench, with Nir Bitton and James Forrest further options.
