Celtic fans have reacted to the news that Scott Brown will return to the side this afternoon.

The midfielder has sat out the team’s last two fixtures, with Ismaila Soro impressing in victories over Lille and Kilmarnock.

Soro drops down to the bench today, however, with Brown captaining his side in the Scottish Cup Final against Hearts at Hampden. The 22-year-old’s absence hasn’t gone down well with all the supporters.

David Turnbull keeps his place, while Conor Hazard remains in goal. Ryan Christie also makes the cut, while the likes of Jeremie Frimpong and Diego Laxalt settle for spots on the bench.

SUBS: Barkas, Bitton, Griffiths, Klimala, Soro, Rogic, Johnston, Frimpong, Laxalt

Here’s what fans have been saying about Neil Lennon’s selection.

Celtic kick off at 2.15pm, with Scott Brown hoping to lift the Scottish Cup for a sixth time.
