Celtic will have Christopher Jullien available to play tonight.

According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic will have Christopher Jullien fit to face Rennes in the Europa League this evening – but four players are out.

The Bhoys beat Hamilton Academical 1-0 on Saturday afternoon in a somewhat unconvincing display, and will be looking to get back into top form tonight.

Celtic were handed a tricky Europa League group including Rennes, Lazio and Cluj, and they head to France this evening to take on Rennes.

Neil Lennon will be hoping to get off to a perfect start, and he has been handed a big piece of news, as defender Jullien has allegedly been passed fit to play after a head injury at Hamilton.

Having the giant centre back will be important anyway, but with his knowledge of Rennes and French football as a whole, he could be key tonight.

However, four players haven’t made the trip to France, with Jozo Simunovic, Nir Bitton, Mikey Johnston and Leigh Griffiths all ruled out through injury.

That certainly depletes Lennon’s squad in key areas, and Jullien being fit becomes even more important with Simunovic and Bitton both out of action.

New signing Mohamed Elyounoussi could feature again with Johnston out, whilst Vakoun Issouf Bayo will be the second-choice striker behind in-form Odsonne Edouard as Griffiths is left at home.
