Image for Lennon reveals injury concern

Mikey Johnston is an injury doubt for Wednesday’s Champions League tie with Sarajevo.

The young winger highlighted an outstanding display in Bosnia with a spectacular long range shot to draw Celtic level five minutes after Sarajevo had gone in front.

Late in the second half he suffered a muscle injury that saw him substituted with Neil Lennon not taking any chances on fitness at this stage of the season.

Leigh Griffiths is expected to make his first home appearance in seven months when he starts against Rennes with Luca Connell and Christopher Jullien likely to make their debut.

Celtic have no friendly match scheduled for next weekend which effectively means that the competitive season is well underway.

Tom Rogic, Kieran Tierney, Jack Hendry, Vakoun Bayo and Marian Shved all missed the trip to Bosnia due to injuries with Lennon hoping to have those players and more to select from as he attempts to take Celtic back to the group phase of the Champions League.
