Brendan Rodgers gives Aberdeen their props for decking Rangers and announces Treble boost for Hampden spectacular

Brendan Rodgers is set for a triple Hampden boost with Callum McGregor, Adam Idah and Nicolas Kuhn all getting the green light for Saturday.

The Hoops trio sat out the 2-0 victory against Dundee but will be back in business for the Premier Sports Cup semi-final showdown with Aberdeen. Rodgers revealed the results of Idah’s scan on the ankle injury suffered at Fir Park on Sunday was more positive than expected.

And his men will be at full strength to take on the high-flying Dons. The Celtic manager said: “All three will be fine. Nicolas has a sore hip after the weekend but he trained, as did Callum and Adam. Hopefully there will be no reaction and they’ll be alright. I think Adam got away with one. He’s still a bit sore and swollen but the medical team told me he’s done some work today. He’s had a bit of luck because he’s an important player for us.”

Rodgers reckons Celtic are in strong shape for Hampden – but he won’t take Aberdeen lightly. The Dons roared back from two down to salvage a draw at Parkhead earlier this month and saw off Rangers at Pittodrie last night. Rodgers said: “Listen, Aberdeen have had a fantastic start. That's a really good result for them.

“But as I'm sure you can respect, my focus is very much on Celtic. Our guys have made a brilliant start also, in terms of how they've been playing, the goals they've been scoring, secure defensively in the main and in a really good position in the Champions League. But it's still so early. My first marker is after 10 games. And if I look at it after 10 games, then we've made a really good start. Aberdeen are there as well, but there's still such a long way to go.

“Semi-finals are always great occasions. I love going to Hampden and we're in a really good place
