Celtic starting XI for Scottish Cup semi-final against St Mirren

Celtic take on St Mirren for the second week in a row, this time at Hampden as the sides meet in the Scottish Cup semi-final.

The manager has made three changes to the side which started in last weekend’s 1-0 victory at Celtic Park, which came courtesy of an Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain goal.

The Englishman is named amongst the substitutes, with Arne Engels starting in midfield, while Benjamin Arthur replaces the suspended Liam Scales. And Sebastian Tounekti comes into the starting XI, with Tomas Cvancara dropping out.
