Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers should consider recalling Moussa Dembele to the starting XI.
Celtic travel to Lithuanian side Suduva on Thursday night for the first leg of a Europa League qualifying play-off, which follows on from a disappointing exit from the Champion League.
However, Brendan Rodgers’ side still have a chance to be playing European football this season and must seize that opportunity with both hands.
The Scottish giants will be desperate for some away goals to take back to Parkhead and that’s why mangers Rodgers has a big decision to make in attack.
Celtic have had Leigh Griffiths leading the line in recent weeks, with Odsonne Edouard sidelined through injury and Moussa Dembele easing his way back from his own injury setback.
However, the upcoming clash with Suduva is the perfect time to recall Dembele to the starting line-up at the expense of Griffiths.
Griffiths, 28, got off the mark with his first goal of the season in a win over Partick Thistle at the weekend, but is yet to spark into his best form.
Meanwhile, Dembele has three goals in just four appearances so far this campaign and is the best striker on the books at Celtic that needs to play when fit.
The 21-year-old Frenchman should be unleashed in Lithuania and adding a couple more goals to his tally will do him the world of good.
He has had some impressive cameo roles off the bench to rediscover his touch and is Rodgers’ main weapon in the final third.
