Kyogo Furuhashi starts as Celtic and Hibs name cup final teams

Kyogo Furuhashi is fit to start for Celtic against Hibernian in the Premier Sports Cup final.

Mikey Johnston also returns for Celtic and Postecoglou has named an attacking side as boith sides go for the first silverware of the season.

For Hibs, interim manager David Gray has brought Jamie Murphy into the team to start, replacing injured Chris Cadden, and Kevin Nisbet is fit after doubts earlier in the week about his availability.

The Celtic substitutes are Scott Bain, Liam Scales, Nir Bitton, James McCarthy, Liam Shaw, Adam Montgomery, Anthony Ralston, Stephen Welsh and Owen Moffat.

Hibs have Matt Macey in goal behind Lewis Stevenson, Paul Hanlon, Ryan Porteous and Paul McGinn.

Jake Doyle-Hayes, Joe Newell and Josh Campbell are in midfield, with Martin Boyle and Jamie Murphy the wide men supporting striker Kevin Nisbet.

The Hibs substitutes are Kevin Dabrowski, Josh Doig, Drey Wright, Christian Doidge, Alex Gogic, Scott Allan, Darren McGregor, James Scott and Chris Cadden.
