Image for Celtic get injury boost ahead of Cluj clash

Mikey Johnston was pictured taking a full part in Celtic’s training session at Lennoxtown this morning.

The winger missed last week’s draw with Cluj and win over Motherwell due to injury but looks like being available for tomorrow’s night return clash against the Romanian side.

Johnston scored a spectacular equaliser in the first round match away to FK Sarajevo and followed that up with the opening SPFL goal of the season at home to St Johnstone.

Lewis Morgan stood in for Johnston against Cluj and Motherwell but would make way for a full fit Johnston who finished last season with a double against Hearts and a place in the Scottish Cup Final side against the same club.

Neil Lennon will check on the fitness of Hatem Abd Elhamed before finalising his side with some big decisions to be made in defence.

Boli Bolingoli and Kris Ajer appear to be certan starters with Christopher Jullien, Jozo Simunovic and Elhamed battling for the two remaining places.

Hatem Abd Elhamed and Jozo Simunovic, who were both substituted in the 1-1 draw with Cluj were also pictured in training.
