Strachan promotes Riordain

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan promoted Derek Riordan to his starting line-up for the Tennent’s Scottish Cup semi-final against St Johnstone.

Strachan rewarded Riordan for his winner against Motherwell last week, when he came off the bench to get the game’s only goal, and the 24-year-old replaced the injured Maciej Zurawski.
