Celtic midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu may be needed.
Celtic midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu could have an increased role in the upcoming weeks.
The controversial summer signing has so far made only three appearances for Brendan Rodgers’ side.
There have been some weeks where the former Kilmarnock man has not been in the matchday squad. The last game before the break he was back on the bench against Livingston.
An injury to Tom Rogic on international duty can change Mulumbu’s situation.
Fox Sports Australia report Rogic has injured his knee and has already been ruled out of the Socceroos’ Tuesday fixture with Lebanon.
He is doubtful for Celtic’s match this weekend against Hamilton and Celtic must rejig their options.
Scott Brown could be fit again after three weeks out with a hamstring injury, but Brendan Rodgers should not rush him back.
The game at Hamilton will be played on an artificial pitch and Rodgers must assess whether this is the right circumstance to bring back his captain.
Mulumbu has been desperate for more chances since signing as a free agent, and the situation with Rogic and Brown could work in his favour.
If he gets the opportunity, he needs to seize it.
