Fixture: Hibernian vs Celtic
Competition: Scottish League Cup
Kick-off: 12:15 (UK time)

Celtic have announced their starting eleven and substitutes to take on Hibernian in the semi-final of the Scottish League Cup at Hampden this afternoon.

The Bhoys were well beaten in Champions League action earlier this week, going down 3-0 against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena to dent their last 16 hopes.




But Brendan Rodgers' side have the perfect opportunity to bounce back at Hampden by booking a place in the Scottish League Cup final.

Rodgers continues to be without injured defenders Jozo Simunovic, Erik Sviatchenko and Anthony Ralston. The Celtic manager picks Craig Gordon in goal, while at the back he has Mikael Lustig, Nir Bitton, Dedryck Boyata and Kieran Tierney. Scott Brown is in midfield, while Callum McGregor is also given a start. Stuart Armstrong and Scott Sinclair support Leigh Griffiths.

If the former Liverpool manager needs to try to change the game, he can look to his bench, where he has a number of options, including James forrest and Tom Rogic.
