Neil Lennon is hopeful that Christopher Jullien and Moritz Bauer won’t be out of action for any length of time from the knocks picked up against Kilmarnock.
Both defenders were substituted in the closing stages of the 3-1 win over the Ayrshire side with Nir Bitton and Jozo Simunovic likely to be unavailable for the next few weeks.
????? NL: “Moritz’s injury was trauma. He got a bang and twisted his ankle. @Chri6ViF felt it a little bit on his hamstring but we think he’ll be fine.”

Scott Brown finished today’s match at right-back with substitute Hatem Abd Elhamed switched into the centre of defence to partner Kris Ajer.
Eamonn Brophy gave Kilmarnock the lead but before the break Odsonne Edouard brought Celtic back on level terms with the Frenchman putting the hoops in front after 53 minutes.
Four minutes later Ryan Christie increased Celtic’s lead but it required a late penalty save by Fraser Forster to ensure that there was no drama in the closing stages.
With six wins out of six Celtic are three points clear at the top of the SPFL table with their next league fixture coming on Saturday away to Hibs.
