Struggling player axed in one change: Celtic expected XI v Hibernian
GOALKEEPER AND DEFENCE
Craig Gordon (Goalkeeper) – Expected to keep his place in the side after making a few wonder saves in the semi-final against Rangers which puts the goalkeeping debate at Parkhead to bed for a while
Kristoffer Ajer (Right-back) – Not his usual position but needs must on this occasion, he has played this position before but is naturally better in the centre-back area he has made his own since December
Jack Hendry (Centre-back) – Expected to replace the struggling Mikael Lustig who could be axed. The January signing from Dundee was cuptied v Rangers but will be out to show that he should be a main player for the Hoops next season
Dedryck Boyata (Centre-back) – Expected to retain his place in the side even though he made a few errors against Rangers as he usually does, but Brendan Rodgers is a fan and he is expected to keep the Belgian in the side
Kieran Tierney (Left-back) – Expected to keep his place in the side and be dangerous in attack and sensible in defence, the way he plays most weeks with great success for the Bhoys
