Prior to tonight’s match with Hibs at Celtic Park, the reigning Scottish champions were rocked by the news that due to Christopher Jullien’s positive test for Covid-19, 13 players along with manager Neil Lennon and assistant John Kennedy have been instructed to self-isolate.
Rumours on social media throughout today had goalkeeper Vasilis Barkas as the only member of the team who started Celtic’s last game, the 1-0 defeat to Rangers, to miss out. However, the reality has been a lot tougher on Neil Lennon’s side.
Missing from action tonight are key players like Kristoffer Ajer, Ryan Christie, Odsonne Edouard, Leigh Griffiths and many more.
The Celtic bench for tonight is: Doohan, Taylor, Connell, Coffey, Okoflex, Henderson, Ralston, Hjelde, Karamoko.
And the starting XI is...
