Celtic starting team news vs Morton as no Juranovic or Giakoumakis but Turnbull starts at Parkhead

Ange Postecoglou has rang the changes as Celtic get their Scottish Cup journey up and running.

The Hoops lifted the Scottish Premiership and League Cup last season and are sitting top of the table once again and are in the final of the other domestic competition this campaign. This tournament is one they will be desperate to lift and hopes of a potential Treble begin in the shape of second tier outfit Greenock Morton.

History is on the side of the Championship side with boss Dougie Imrie the goalscorer in a famous upset in the cup at Parkhead ten years ago. It would arguably be an even bigger achievement to do similar damage today in front of an expecting home support. Postecoglou and his troops have only tasted defeat once this season in Scotland with that loss coming in Paisley against St Mirren. Speaking ahead of facing Morton, the Celtic boss said: “Tomorrow is an opportunity to win a game of football, that’s what we’re going to try to do and I’ll pick a team that does that. We haven’t gone into any game, I don’t think really unchanged from the week before anyway.
