Ange Postecoglou says he leaves his players in the dark over selection as his side booked a return to Hampden with a 4-0 Premier Sports Cup quarter-final win against Motherwell.
The Hoops boss was delighted as his side made persistence in front of goal count against the Steelmen in their last eight tie. Liel Abada grabbed a brace, the first of which deflated a 'Well side looking to hold on until half-time. Reo Hatate and Kyogo Furuhashi also scored as they joined Kilmarnock in Mount Florida next year.
He dropped James Forrest off the back of a hat-trick and Giorgios Giakoumakis' double against Hibs on Saturday, and Postecoglou admits shirking some conversations on why. He jokingly said: "It's not difficult (to tell players they're on the bench), I just avoid it. It's an easy discussion. I just put the team up and then I walk away. They have all embraced that.
