Ange Postecoglou names Celtic side for crucial Rangers clash

Ange Postecoglou names Celtic team to face Rangers as he makes huge call up front

ANGE POSTECOGLOU has named his side to take on Rangers with Kyogo Furuhashi given the nod up front.

The Japanese striker has been preferred to Giorgos Giakoumakis to start the derby match at Celtic Park.

Postecoglou had hinted at the possibility of fielding the duo together for the match, but has stuck with his usual formation and one central striker.

It's a familiar back-four in front of Joe Hart for Celtic, however Jossip Juranovic misses out through injury.

Anthony Ralston deputises at right-back with Cameron Carter-Vickers and Carl Starfelt in the middle and Greg Taylor on the left.

It's a midfield of Callum McGregor, Matt O'Riley and Reo Hatate.

And Daizen Maeda and Jota start either side of Kyogo in attack.

CELTIC XI: Hart, Ralston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor, McGregor, Hatate, O'Riley, Jota, Maeda, Kyogo.

SUBS: Bain, Bitton, Giakoumakis, Abada, Turnbull, McCarthy, Rogic, Forrest, Welsh.
