Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy has confirmed his team will keep their 3-4-3 formation against St Mirren in the Premier Sports Cup final.
This comes despite making two personnel changes after Celtic's Europa League defeat to Roma, with Anthony Ralston and Iheanacho replacing Yang and Benjamin Nygren.
Initially, there was speculation that the formation could be altered with Scotland defender Ralston being brought into the team, potentially at right-back.
However, Nancy explained that the formation will remain the same, with Ralston slotting into the back three alongside Auston Trusty and Liam Scales.
Kieran Tierney and Sebastian Tounekti have been assigned the wing-back positions, while Callum McGregor and Arne Engels are believed to be heading the central midfield roles.

Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda will provide support for Iheanacho upfront.
When asked if the 3-4-3 formation would be maintained, Mr Nancy told BBC Scotland: "Yes, but this is only the system.
"After that the animation will be different.
"I think that Tony has a lot of experience to play this kind of game and he's been also really, really good, so he deserves it."
Mr Nancy has been vocal about seeking improvements from his team after their losses to Hearts and the Italian side.
He said: "Always.
"I'm looking all the time for improvement.
"This is the only thing that I can control.
"The idea is each performance we try to analyze it and to see what we have done better and what we can do a little bit better.
"That's why for me doesn't change.
"Now this is a final.
"Do or die I would say.
"But again, the most important for me is to give all the tools to my players and to help them to express themselves."
