Celtic squad revealed as returning Yosuke Ideguchi primed to lead Scottish Cup shake up

Ange Postecoglou could look to shake up his Celtic starting line-up for the Scottish Cup clash with Raith Rovers.

The Parkhead side are chasing a quadruple as they push for the Premiership title, while their Europa Conference League clash with Bodo/Glmit just around the corner, and the Premier Sports Cup already in the trophy room.

So the Australian may look to freshen up the team when the Championship side arrive at Celtic Park.

Yosuke Ideguchi is available again and could be given a run out, having been missing since picking up a knock in the previous round against Alloa.

Celtic still have a few injury concerns to worry about with key duo Kyogo Furuhashi and David Turnbull out for now.

Anthony Ralston looks set to continue at right-back with the cup clash coming too early for Josip Juranovic.

Christopher Jullien and Albian Ajeti will be hoping for their chance as they step up their return from injury.

Predicted Celtic XI

Ange Postecoglou showed faith in his first-choice stars in the previous round against Alloa.

But that was following the winter break, and the players aren't enjoying the same respite during a packed fixture calendar.

Now enjoying plenty of depth in his squad, the likes of Callum McGregor, Joe Hart, Reo Hatate, Greg Taylor and Jota could be among those to be given a break.
