Celtic have no fitness concerns over Kyogo Furuhashi for the Viaplay Cup final against Rangers on 26 February.

The Japanese striker was withdrawn early in last weekend's Scottish Cup win over St Mirren after picking up a shoulder injury.

But the 28-year-old, who has scored 22 goals this season, trained on Thursday and Friday and is available for Saturday's meeting with Aberdeen.

"He's fine, he's good to go," said manager Ange Postecoglou.

"David Turnbull got a bit of knock in the game last week, so he'll miss tomorrow and that's it. Everyone else is okay.

"After the (St Mirren) game, I was pretty relaxed about it. He (Kyogo) had a similar one last year, missed one session and played the next game. It wasn't something we were overly concerned about.

"He's trained the last two days, so no issues."

Kyogo scored twice in last season's League Cup final as Celtic came from behind to beat Hibernian at Hampden Park.
