The Celtic team has tended to pick itself this season, especially during the second half of the season.
With a Treble on the line against Inverness CT, it will be full strength if at all possible from Ange Postecoglou for the Scottish Cup Final. There’s a chance it could be the last Hoops side the Aussie selects as Tottenham circle with intent to make him their new manager.
We know Cameron Carter-Vickers won’t be involved after he was allowed to sit out the remainder of the season to ensure he's fully fit for pre-season following an injury. And there could be a debate over who partners Carl Starfelt in the heart of defence. Confidence seems to have been lost in Yuki Kobayashi since his display in the defeat to Rangers at Ibrox, with compatriot Tomoki Iwata playing. Many thought it might have opened the door for Stephen Welsh, but he hasn't been sighted. Alistair Johnston was injured against Aberdeen on the final day of the Premiership season, but Postecoglou confirmed he's trained all week and will be fine for the Mount Florida showdown. Kyogo remained a doubt, with his manager saying the final call would be up to the Japanese after also being forced off against the Dons on Trophy Day.
If he doesn't feel right, then understudy Oh is likely to get the nod to lead the line at Hampden. Those around him should have a familiar look as they make one last push to complete a domestic clean sweep with possibly the only other debate over whether Liel Abada or Daizen Maeda gets the nod.
