Celtic take on Hibernian at Parkhead on Wednesday night.
Celtic are back in action on Wednesday night, as they host Hibernian at Parkhead just days after beating St Johnstone.
The Bhoys came through Sunday’s clash with St Johnstone thanks to two late goals from James Forrest and Timothy Weah, and will be looking for similar success tomorrow night.
Against a managerless Hibs side following Neil Lennon’s shock exit, Celtic will be expecting to win – but have a host of injury concerns.
Odsonne Edouard, Ryan Christie and James Forrest are all struggling right now, and may miss out against Hibs tomorrow night.
Scott Bain should keep his place in goal ahead of Craig Gordon, whilst deadline day signing Jeremy Toljan may be in line for a start given Mikael Lustig’s injury struggles.
Dedryck Boyata was back in training on Monday so could partner Jozo Simunovic in the heart of the Celtic defence, with Emilio Izaguirre at left back.
Scott Brown will start in midfield, and may be partnered by Nir Bitton, unless the Israeli is needed in defence alongside Simunovic if Boyata doesn’t make it.
Oliver Burke may shift from a striking role to play on the right, with Callum McGregor and Scott Sinclair rounding out the attacking midfield roles.
That would see Timothy Weah lead the line following his goal on Sunday, and it’s unclear just what Celtic’s bench could be given so many late injury calls to make.
