Celtic squad revealed as Mohamed Elyounoussi stakes claim for Betfred Cup final starting berth

On loan Southampton winger Mohamed Elyounoussi is available for selection as Neil Lennon decides which of his attackers is best placed to take care of Rangers in the Betfred Cup Final.

The Celtic boss is confident that French striker Odsonne Edouard will recover from a niggle in time for the game and it would now be a shock if the Frenchman doesn't start.

Boli Bolingoli and Jonny Hayes have been declared fit but Greg Taylor is cup-tied after his transfer was finalised after taking part in the opening rounds with Kilmarnock.

Lennon will have to choose between the two to decide who is best placed to cope with Rangers' dangerous right flank with James Tavernier always capable of causing a problem.

Three Hoops stars are still out with long-term injury with Israeli star Hatem Abd Elhamed (abductor), Jozo Simunovic (knee) and Daniel Arzani (knee) missing.

Celtic provisional squad:

Forster

Frimpong

Bauer

Bolingoli

Hayes

Ajer

Jullien

Rogic

Bitton

Brown

McGregor

Ntcham

Forrest

Elyounoussi

Johnston

Griffiths

Edouard

Christie

Morgan

Sinclair

Gordon
