Ange Postecoglou names Celtic team to take on Inverness in Scottish Cup final

Ange Postecoglou has named his Celtic team to face Inverness in the Scottish Cup final.

The Hoops are chasing their eighth treble in their history this evening at the national stadium.

Should they win, it will also secure Postecoglou's fifth trophy out of six in his two years in Scotland.

Celtic are overwhelming favourites for the showpiece event, with Caley Thistle finishing in the bottom half of this season's Championship. Billy Dodds' men also haven't played a competitive fixture since the beginning of May.

And there aren't many surprises with the Celtic team tasked with bringing a third and final trophy home this season.

Kyogo makes it after failing to train this week, while Tomoki Iwata is the preferred partner for Carl Starfelt at the heart of the Hoops defence.

CELTIC XI: Hart, Johnston, Starfelt, Iwata, Taylor, McGregor, Hatate, O'Riley, Jota, Maeda, Kyogo

Subs: Siegrist, Haksabanovic, Abada, Turnbull, Oh, Bernabei, Forrest, Ralston, Welsh

INVERNESS XI: Ridgers, Duffy, Harper, Welsh, Deas, Devine, Carson, McKay, Allardice, Henderson, Shaw

Subs: C.MacKay, Doran, MacGregor, Hyde, D.MacKay, Delaney, Samuels, Woods, Boyd
