CELTIC travel to Inverness tonight for a Scottish Cup 6th round clash – with one eye on this Sunday’s Old Firm League Cup final against Rangers at Hampden.
Celtic striker Gary Hooper has recovered from a knee injury but full-back Mark Wilson and captain Scott Brown are suspended.
And Hooper – just called up by England U-21 boss Stuart Pearce – says his side have to forget about Rangers and concentrate on winning this evening.
“It will be very difficult to put aside Sunday’s League Cup final with Rangers. It is going to be in the back of your mind,” said Hooper.
“But the main thing is we have to get through. It will be very tough, especially going there in midweek.
“They will be up for it. We have to play the way we can and go for it, but the Treble is not on my mind.
“The main thing is winning on Wednesday and Sunday and then go on from there.”
Celtic (from): Forster, Rogne, Mulgrew, Loovens, Izaguirre, Hooper, Kayal, Ki, Samaras, Commons, McCourt, Stokes, Forrest, Murphy, Juarez, Zaluska, Ledley, McGinn.
