CAMERON CARTER-VICKERS takes his usual place in the centre of the defence for today’s visit of Philippe Clement’s Ibrox side, despite scare stories the Celtic stalwart might miss out through injury.
The reliable US international had a day off training at Lennoxtown on Friday sparking speculation he could be a doubt for the Parkhead clash.
Kyogo Furuhashi leads the attack with Adam Idah, Scottish Cup hero in May, on the substitutes’ bench.
New Bhoys Arne Engels, Auston Trusty, Luke McCowan and Alex Valle are also among the stand-by squad.
TEAM: Schmeichel; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor; Bernardo, McGregor, Hatate; Kuhn, Kyogo, Maeda. Subs: Sinisalo, Trusty, Palma, Idah, Valle, McCowan, Engels, Forrest and Ralston.
