CAMERON CARTER-VICKERS is a shock omission from the Celtic team to face Livingston in the Scottish Cup quarter-final at Parkhead this afternoon.
The centre-back, who has been jinxed with muscular problems since the start of the season, is not even involved in Brendan Rodgers’ match day squad and joins Callum McGregor on the sidelines.
Keeper Joe Hart takes over as skipper while Stephen Welsh replaces the USA World Cup Finals defender in the heart of the rearguard.
German winger Nicolas Kuhn comes in for the suspended Yang Hyun-jun.
TEAM: Hart; Johnston, Welsh, Scales, Taylor; Iwata, O’Riley, Bernardo; Kuhn, Idah, Maeda. Subs: Bain, Lagerbielke, Kyogo, Holm, Oh, Vata, Kelly, Forrest and Ralston.
