John Hartson reckons Kyogo Furuhashi will start Sunday's Scottish Cup semi final against Rangers.
Kyogo made his long awaited return as a second half substitute against St Johnstone on Saturday after being sidelined with injury since December.
And with Giorgos Giakoumakis a pre match Hampden doubt, the former Parkhead hero has suggested that the 16-goal Celtic hero should be given the nod by manager Ange Postecoglou.
Speaking to Go Radio, Hartson named the team he thinks will line up at Hampden with a certain Japanese striker included.
He said: "The back four will stay the same and I think the midfield will remain the same.
"The only one for me will be O'Riley or Hatate.
"Then it'll be Maeda, Jota, and if Giakoumakis isn't fit, then I see Kyogo starting."
Giakoumakis pulled up injured in the rout of St Johnstone with Postecoglou set to confirm the Greek striker's state of play at a press conference on Friday.
"Why wouldn't he start him?", added Hartson on the inclusion of Kyogo.
"I think he'll be dying to get back on the scoresheet.
"He's such an enthusiastic and quality player.
"What an impact he made before he got injured."
