Erik Sviatchenko is an injury doubt for Celtic’s Champions League clash with Rosenborg.

With Dedryck Boyata out injured the Dane is the natural replacement to team up with Jozo Simunovic but is now rated a doubt for the clash against the Norwegian champions.

If Sviatchenko fails to make it Brendan Rodgers will either draft in Kristoffer Ajer for his competitive debut or switch to a back three as he did last week at home to Linfield.

As well as Sviatchenko Moussa Dembele is an injury doubt with no real alternative in the squad due to Leigh Griffiths being suspended.

Scott Sinclair, James Forrest and Jonny Hayes have all played in the past as a striker but if Dembele fails to make it tomorrow night a major reshuffle will be required.

Rosenborg arrive in Glasgow on the back of a 3-2 aggregate win over Dundalk and looking to reach the group phase for the first time in a decade.

No television deal has yet been announced for the match.
