Ange Postecoglou names Celtic team to face Rangers in Scottish Cup semi-final

Ange Postecoglou has named his Celtic side to take on Rangers.

The Parkhead boss has made two changes from the 1-1 draw with Motherwell last time out.

Joe Hart starts in goal with an unchanged backline of Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Carl Starfelt and Greg Taylor.

Callum McGregor is at the base of the midfield three with Matt O'Riley and Hatate just in front.

Jota returns on the wing with Daizen Maeda also in support of Kyogo Furuhashi.

CELTIC XI: Hart, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor, McGregor, Hatate, O'Riley, Jota, Maeda, Kyogo.

SUBS: Bain, Haksabanovic, Mooy, Turnbull, Kobayashi, Oh, Iwata, Ralston, Vata.

RANGERS XI: McGregor, Tavernier, Goldson, Davies, Barisic, Cantwell, Lundstram, Raskin, Tillman, Kent, Morelos.

SUBS: McLaughlin, Ridvan, Hagi, Souttar, Matondo, Kamara, Wright, Fashion Jr, Arfield.
