Lennon delighted by Kayal’s early return

Neil Lennon didn’t think that his week could get any better- until he saw Biram Kayal charging around the training pitch at Lennoxtown!

The Israeli midfielder played a full part in the after match celebrations at Rugby Park on Saturday and is on course to play again this season.

Kayal has been out injured since the 1-0 win over Rangers on December 28 and is on course for a return despite initially being written off for the season.

“Biram Kayal is back in light training,” Lennon told Celtic tv. “It’s fantastic to see him doing so well so quickly.

“Mo Bangura is back training which is brilliant news. Thomas (Rogne) should make training for Friday, we’re getting a few back from the injury list.

“We’ve got Victor (Wanyama) back from suspension so we’ve got a bit more quality back in the squad although it’s a wee bit early for Biram on Sunday.”
