'Leaked' Celtic team has Odsonne Edouard OUT of Betfred Cup Final starting XI

Rumours are swirling around ahead of kick-off that Celtic will be without Odsonne Edouard for today's Betfred Cup Final against Rangers.

The club's talisman hasn't played in a fortnight but did train in the club's final session before the Hampden showpiece on Friday.

Online rumours suggest Celtic's front four will be the returning Mohamed Elyounoussi and James Forrest out wide, Ryan Christie in the No.10 role Lewis Morgan leading the line.

Reports also claim Jeremie Frimpong and Jonny Hayes start at right and left-back respectively.

But others are stating the Frenchman will win his fitness battle for clash with their fierce rivals as the pair look to land the first silverware of the season.

Neil Lennon delivered a cautiously optimistic update on the French U21 star when he spoke to media during his final pre-match press conference.

Misinformation is rife ahead of the big one and Rangers don't have their problems to seek with inspirational midfielder Steven Davis facing a sweat to make the game today.

There is another side doing the rounds that claims Kris Ajer is starting at right-back with Nir Bitton, a hero of the 2-0 win at Ibrox, coming back into the fold.
