Summary
- Martin O'Neill confirmed Celtic's lineup for the Scottish Cup semi-final.
- Celtic aims for a domestic double this season.
- St Mirren seeks to secure their Premiership status.
Martin O'Neill has finalized Celtic's starting XI for their crucial Scottish Cup semi-final encounter against St Mirren at Hampden. This match is a significant step for Celtic in their pursuit of a potential domestic double, a feat that seemed unlikely earlier in the season. The team's current form under O'Neill has been a marked improvement, instilling confidence for the remainder of the campaign.
St Mirren, currently battling to avoid relegation in the Scottish Premiership, enters the semi-final with their own set of challenges. Their recent narrow 1-0 defeat to Celtic at Celtic Park indicates a competitive spirit. The manager has opted for Viljami Sinisalo in goal, supported by a defensive line including Ralston, Trusty, Arthur, and Tierney. The midfield and attack will be spearheaded by McGregor, Engels, Nygren, Tounetki, Yang, and Maeda, with offensive options available on the bench.
