CELTIC boss Ange Postecoglou has revealed that Carl Starfelt was subbed at half time against Hearts due to injury.
The Hoops ran out 3-0 winners against Hearts in their Scottish Cup Quarter Final clash at Tynecastle.
Carl Starfelt has been a rock in Celtic's back line along with Carter-Vickers
Starfelt was in the starting lineup but was substituted at half time when his side were 2-0 up.
Yuki Kobayashi replaced the Swede to make his fourth appearance since joining in January.
The Japanese defender slotted in well but Ange admits he is unsure if Starfelt will remain out.
He said: "Yeah he felt a niggle in his hip flexor during the warm-up actually.
"Kind of felt early on in the game but we got it through to half-time and we could see he wasn't moving well in the first-half.
"You could see he wasn't his normal self so we made the change.
"I don't think it's anything significant but it was good to get Yuki some game time, you can see his quality for a young man and I thought he did well when he came on."

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nah. Don’t agree with this in any aspect whatsoever
Sutton knows his audience and that audience comprises mainly of those who convince themselves that they couldn’t care less what he says
He’s a beacon for controversy and wumming and pretty much anyone with an iota of sense knows what he sets out to do, which is to wind fans up and create “debate”. That’s his job. That’s what he’s paid for. Clicks, phone ins and arguments
And he does it very well to the point where those that think he’s rubbish at his job are the first ones to react; and usually in anger.
Did he do his job? Too bloody right he did, and you walked right into it by just reacting.
I understand all that, but I still think it makes him a terrible pundit. Sour faced priicks like him add nothing but negativity to the game, and I don't see how any curious outsider tuning in to Scottish football wouldn't be put off by it. But having wum pundits who get roasters to call a phone-in in a rage is exactly the kind of insular approach to marketing that I've come to expect from Scottish football - so busy fighting constant internal battles that we can't see the rest of the world moving on without us.
Lex.......this is gonna come back and bite you on the erchie and your gonads if we don't do it......one off cup games at Hampden..... No accounting for bad injuries to key players.....refereeing fvck ups......don't turn up on the day......I'll concede the league is almost done
Sutton is nowhere near the worst pundit in our game. I don’t think he’s insightful by any means, but there’s a fairly lengthy list ahead of him.
I don’t think he’s read the room with that comment though.

The man is just a wum. That’s all there is to it and why he has a job
As a serious football pundit I’d say he is mediocre at best.
I guess I just wish we could present our game in a better light rather than have pundits acting like school kids all the time. Sutton is a bitter wum, Stewart gets all ragey whenever someone disagrees with him. McFadden is inoffensive but he has zero personality and his contribution could easily be replaced by a cardboard cutout. Kris Boyd is just a less angry and more Rangersy version of Sutton tbh. If we can't get pundits who can provide insightful football analysis, can we at least get pundits who are good media personalities and have the data nerds feed them stuff to talk about? Is our league really so low-budget that these people are the best we can get?
All of which takes me away from my original point that I'm not surprised such a small-minded, bitter man as Sutton has read the room so badly on this particular issue.
Read the room so badly, WPP? Are you sure? On various forums I've read there is a broad split. FF I know is thankfully not representative but the hard line right-wing vitriol on there largely against Linekar is something else albeit I wasn't counting the votes. I imagine there is similar feeling in the communities that feel more affected in the SE and all the others that were easily stirred into voting leave?
Accepting what Ginger said it might be a wum but if anything that is one of Sutton's least controversial tweets. Is there a chance it is just a guy just wanting to do his job and not get embroiled in politics, whatever he thinks and let's be honest here, given the political split in the country, what are all these sports pundits demanding - a change in gov policy? A change in BBC employment T&Cs? Linekar to be able to do what he wants? Beeb chairman to resign? And do we expect ALL pundits to share these same views?
Said it on here this has worked out WAY better for the gov than they expected. Not just a squirrel but a forest full of them and Braverman will be laughing her head off.
‘Here is a quick timeline, in case you missed it:
Lineker was pulled off air on Friday after the BBC said he breached its guidelines on use of social media’
That’s hardly a punishment.
Rangers fan dislikes former Celtic player who is a pundit shock.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think what people are looking for from the BBC is a move away from the pro-government position they've increasingly been taking. "Neutrality" is increasingly coming to mean never critiquing the government, and the upper levels of the BBC is increasingly stacked with overt tories, be it a tory doner as chairman or a former tory councillor wannabe as director general. It's clear the tories want to de-platform anyone who's critical of them, so on one level the sports pundits want to be able to have and express personal opinions in fields outwith that which their BBC role covers, but on another level a wider section of the public want a BBC which isn't simply an extension of the government's press department.
This particular drama might have helped the government bury the actual story, but if it leads to a BBC more free from government interference then a lot of people will consider that a net win.

Wee bit tenuous link but just drove past the phannies ‘protesting’ outside a hotel in erskine that have housed a couple of hundred refugees/immigrants. Big police presence and antifa in attendance.
Wtf is the point in protesting at the hotel ? Better aff protesting to the folks who they disagree with - cooncil office etc
