Neil Lennon has confirmed that Odsonne Edouard will be fine to play for Celtic against Aberdeen, even though he hasn’t trained.

There were some fears that Edouard could miss Celtic’s game against tomorrow, after he picked up a knock.

However, Lennon has suggested that Celtic’s leading scorer will be available.

“No fresh injuries, we came through Kilmarnock unscathed. Odsonne didn’t train yesterday but he’s back in this morning so will be fine,” Lennon said in a press conference covered by his side’s official Twitter account.

Celtic need just a point against Aberdeen to lift the Scottish Premiership title.
