The Celtic starting XI with THREE strikers as Rodgers dips into bag of tricks for Scottish Cup showdown

dailyrecord.co.uk

With Celtic averaging a game per week it appears folly for Brendan Rodgers to turn into a tinkerman. However, that might be a necessity with Liel Abada leaving, Yang suspended and Luis Palma injured.

Is this an opportunity to get Kyogo in his deeper role plus Oh and Idah in the same team? It may well be. Daizen Maeda is usually a banker to start, however, with Callum McGregor out it allows the chance to tweak things in both midfield and attack.

And you could even get Gustaf Lagerbielke minutes as part of a back three. The holders will be without the suspended Hyun-jun after they failed in their appeal to have his red card against Hearts overturned.

They are also missing influential skipper McGregor with an Achilles injury and a hamstring problem rules out defender Maik Nawrocki.
