BRENDAN RODGERS has brought back forgotten Bhoys Stephen Welsh and Yang Hyun-jun to face Dundee United at Tannadice in the High Noon showdown at Tannadice today.
The central defender and the South Korean have hardly figured this season, but have been given the nod as the Hoops boss freshens up his team from last weekend’s Premier Sports League Cup Final win at Hampden.
Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Auston Trusty, Paulo Bernardo and Nicolas Kuhn are rested on this occasion.
TEAM: Schmeichel; Ralston, Welsh, Scales, Taylor; McCowan, McGregor, Hatate; Yang, Kyogo, Maeda. Subs: Sinisalo, Palma, Idah, Valle, Nawrocki, Engels, Bernardo, Bonnar and Donovan.
