It is hard enough for opponents to outfox Celtic without Scottish football's dominant force turning to the bench for some extra ammunition.
Yang was the hero in Paisley last week and it was the turn of Luke McCowan to produce another sizzling cameo from the bench to condemn Hibs to a 2-0 Scottish Cup quarter final defeat as he provided the spark from the bench to seal another trip to Hampden.
And now Celtic fans are making their case for the former Dundee star to start against Rangers if captain Callum McGregor comes up short after being substituted for the second consecutive game. Stephen Mulhern, Dumbarton, said: "While Daizen Maeda deservedly got man of the match, the introduction of Luke McCowan ensured Celtic moved up a gear in getting over the line. It’s satisfying to know he can fill McGregor's position seamlessly and revenge for the 3-0 loss is on the cards next Sunday."
Kenny Wilson, Moffat, added: "It was certainly not a great performance from Celtic against a Hibs team who I thought were excellent defensively but did more than enough to win the game and take another step towards yet another treble. Yet another clean sheet at home and no injuries ahead of Sunday's friendly against one of Europe's 'finest' was also a plus point.
Paul McCormack, Coatbridge, said: "Not so much 'Sunshine on Leith' for Hibs at the home of the champions, more of a 'Hail Hail the Celts are here' as their 15 game unbeaten run is ended by an excellent performance from the champions at the crunch period of the season. Looks like Celtic are just coming to the boil right on time, as they usually do."
