    Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that Reo Hatate, Jota and Liel Abada are all available for the Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers at Hampden.

    The Japanese playmaker has not featured for the Hoops since before the international break.

    Abada is in the same boat while Jota has been nursing a knock for the last two matches.

    However, all three are available for the game at the national stadium.

    Speaking in his pre-match press conference, he said: "From last week everyone got through unscathed.

    "Liel Abada, Jota and Reo Hatate have trained all week so they are available.

    Massive boost that all 3 are available. The issue will be mainly with Hatate I think in terms of is he match sharp having not played in 5 weeks. Abada would likely have been coming off the bench anyway while you would imagine Jota will start opposite Maeda.

    One thing for sure judging by past two games we need to be better at set pieces only time they really scored must not give away needles set pieces on edge of box

    Jota's got to start - hasn't been out that long.

    Might be best to have Hatate coming on off the bench.

    See Kent and Goldson have only started training today.

    Must make Kyogo and Johnston's mouths water.

    Utter desperation if they start them. Not fit enough to train yesterday but will probably be thrown into a derby semi final on Sunday.

    Jota has to start with Abada and Hatate coming on at the hour mark to kill the beast.

    I think there's definitely a player there - you never know he may end up 'turning up' on Sun, he'll know himself he's a bit out of form.

    Not as much as Kyogo starting, he must put the shiters up the whole lot of them.

    I'd love to see Iwata start, he'll be the sharper of the two at the moment.

    Question to help pass the time:

    When on an long(ish) unbeaten run against Sevco like we're on now, do you feel more confident going into these games, because it feels like we have their number, or more nervous due to the feeling that they have to win one eventually?
