Celtic’s provisional squad for Sunday’s Scottish Cup game has been revealed and there’s certainly scope for some fringe players to get the nod.
Players like Liam Scales, James McCarthy, Dane Murray and Scott Bain could all be called upon on the day.
Christopher Jullien could also see his first minutes of the season and in over a year if Ange gives the Frenchman the nod.
Something discussed in our latest CeltsAreHere short on YouTube.
Here is the provisional team as cited by RecordSport.

Greg Taylor

Josip Juranovic
Nir Bitton
Giorgos Giakoumakis

Celtic welcome Raith Rovers to Celtic Park for the second time this season. The bhoys have already knocked the lower league side out of the League Cup and will be hoping to make it a double.
James Forrest could start his first game in quite some time.
The provisional squad can be tinkered with before the squad is submitted two hours before kick off, so there’s always the chance of other players making it into the fold.
Callum McGregor not in the squad would make sense, giving. The player time to rest after playing with a broken cheekbone over the past two weeks.
