Defence, Midfield and Attack
Anthony Ralston
Ralston is coming off of a massive stoppage time winner against Ross County in midweek. And it is safe to say that the right-back has been one of Celtic’s standout players this season. His rise this season has been a surprise and him not starting the final would be equally as surprising.
Cameron Carter-Vickers
Carter-Vickers has been a regular in the heart of Celtic’s defence ever since arriving in the summer on loan from Tottenham Hotspur.
Carl Starfelt
Starfelt did not have a great night against Ross County, with his performance leaving a lot to be desired and him picking up a red card as well. But even then, he is available to play in the final and will be expected to be in the starting line up.
Liam Scales
Scales has been quite impressive recently but it is also clear that there are areas of his game that he needs to improve. A few weeks back, not many would have expected him to start in the final but with his recent performances as well as the lack of options, that might happen on Sunday.
Nir Bitton
Bitton is another player who has come into the team recently and impressed. And Celtic could do with a bit of defensive insurance in the middle of the park in a game of this magnitude.
Callum McGregor
McGregor has once again been Mr Reliable for Celtic. And many will be looking towards the captain to put in another solid performance against Hibernian.
Tom Rogic
With Kyogo and Jota out, Rogic has been Celtic’s talisman in recent games and fans will be looking towards him to produce a moment of magic in the final as well. He is no stranger to doing that though.
David Turnbull
Turnbull has played continuous football for Celtic this season and that is expected to continue.
Josip Juranovic
This is one position that could be up for serious debate. But with Adam Montgomery struggling in recent appearances, Ange Postecoglou could decide to go with the more experienced Juranovic.
Liel Abada
With Kyogo and Jota both most probably missing out, Abada might have to carry the goalscoring burden on this occasion. His goal in midweek against Ross County must have been a serious confidence booster in that regard.
