Moussa Dembele is absent from the Celtic side that takes on Suduva tonight.
The striker is subject to interest from Lyon and will miss tonight’s match as the hoops look to make it through to the group phase after last week’s 1-1 draw in Lithuania
Dembele missed training yesterday with Brendan Rodgers looking very downbeat as he explained the absence at Wednesday’s media conference.
Lyon have for just over 24 hours to complete a transfer which appears to hinge on Celtic being able to bring in a replacement.
While the hoops attempt to solve that issue they appear close to completing the signing of former Kilmarnock midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu.
Leicester boss Claude Puel has admitted that he is open to the prospect of Filip Berkovic going out on loan with Celtic heavily linked with the Croatian defender.
CELTIC: Gordon; Lustig, Boyata, Ajer, Tierney; Brown, Ntcham; Johnston, McGregor, Sinclair; Griffiths
SUBS: Bain, Hayes, Gamboa, Christie, Rogic, Izaguirre, Forrest
