Final vs Motherwell on Sunday and we have a defensive issue. Lustig and Bitton are both struggling but will be given a late fitness test to see if they can be passed fit or not. It leaves us with a bit of an issue. With Ralston still sidelined, Gamboa is our only other RB option if Lustig is unable to make the game. Equally, we don't know if Gamboa is even fit. Sky Sports didn't even mention Gamboa, they only talked about Lustig and Ralston as our senior RBs.
Even if we have no fit RBs, Rodgers would often switch to a 3 man defence but we're now struggling for defenders to do that with as well. There are still a few options though. Sviatchenko could be fit enough to make a return, but do we really want to risk him making his return in the Cup Final? I would suggest not. Ajer should be available, that might be a better option than Sviatchenko. Equally Tierney could move back to be one of the back 3.
I'd go with:
Gordon
Ajer - Simunovic - Boyata
Forrest - Brown - Kouassi - Tierney
Armstrong - Sinclair
Griffiths
Subs: DDV, Sviatchenko, McGregor, Nthcam, Rogic, Dembele, Edouard
