Kieran Tierney is a major doubt for Sunday’s Glasgow derby.
Yesterday on Celtic TV Neil Lennon expected the defender to be OK for the game with Tierney looking relaxed and comfortable in pictures taken at training this morning.
However at his afternoon media conference Lennon admitted that there had been a set back.
Neil Lennon says his future at Celtic doesn’t depend on Sunday’s result against Rangers.
The Celtic boss says going 13 points ahead would be a ‘hammerblow’ – but that it wouldn’t decide the title.

Tierney missed more than two months of football due to a pelvic problem but returned to action at the end of February when Celtic beat Motherwell 4-1.
After five consecutive matches he reported for international duty but missed Scotland’s defeat in Kazakhstan and flew home before the clash with San Marino.
The injury that kept him out of Scotland action was unrelated to his pelvic issue but an 8,000 mile round trip wouldn’t have done him any favours.
Jonny Hayes of Emilio Izaguirre could step in for Tierney or Lennon could switch to a bacj three.
This guy is very stressed at his work placehttps://t.co/SMRHgX95LZ
