Celtic manager Martin O’Neill has announced his starting lineup for Sunday’s League Cup quarter-final clash against Rangers at Ibrox. The Scottish champions will travel to their rivals’ stadium without away supporters following tensions between the two sets of fans during their previous encounter in March.
O’Neill has made several key personnel decisions for the match. Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone retains his position following his debut appearance midweek, while goalkeeper Haissem Hassan drops to the substitutes bench. In defence, Kieran Tierney returns to left back alongside Colby Donovan at right back, with Cameron Carter-Vickers restored to the centre of defence after being rested in the previous fixture. Auston Trusty completes the back line.
The midfield will be led by captain Callum McGregor, who will be supported by Mika Baur and Benji Nygren in a three-man setup. In the attacking departments, Kasper Høgh leads the line with Camilo Duran and Seb Tounekti operating on the wings. The substitutes bench provides O’Neill with additional options across all areas of the pitch, including depth in midfield and attack for potential tactical adjustments during the encounter.
