Celtic will be looking to maintain their chances of a domestic treble this season when they take on Airdrieonians at Celtic Park in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup this evening.

Brendan Rodgers’s side will head into the match as heavy favourites, and it will be a shock if they are unable to win against the Scottish League One.

This will be Celtic’s first competitive fixture after the mid-season winter break in Scotland, and there may be a case of the players being a bit ‘rusty’.

However, with Airdrieonians not doing particularly well in the Scottish League One, it is hard to see Ian Murray’s side pose any sort of danger to the Hoops.

This is how Celtic will line up against Airdrieonians at Celtic Park this evening:

Oliver Burke, signed on loan from West Bromwich Albion in the Championship in England in the January transfer window, also been drafted into the Hoops’ starting lineup.
