CONFIRMED: DEMBELE IN ATTACK, GORDON IN GOAL

MOUSSA DEMBELE will lead the Celtic attack and Craig Gordon will return in goal for this afternoon’s Scottish Cup Final against Motherwell.

The French Under-21 striker, taken off in last week’s 1-0 loss against Aberdeen, has been given the green light by boss Brendan Rodgers as the Hoops attempt to make history by becoming the first Scottish club to win back-to-back trebles.

Leigh Griffiths, still two goals short of his 100 for the club, will hope to get a chance from the substitutes’ bench.

Gordon, who has sat out the last three Premiership games, replaces Scott Bain who will be on stand-by.

CELTIC: Gordon; Lustig, Boyata, Ajer; Tierney; Brown, Ntcham; Forrest, Rogic, McGregor; Dembele. Subs: Bain, Simunovic, Kouassi, Sinclair, Armstrong, Roberts, Griffiths
