Neil Lennon isn’t yet sure when Moi Elyounoussi will be back in action.
The winger hasn’t completed a 90 minutes since the Europa League win against Lazio in November with his last appearance coming in the League Cup Final when he was replaced at half-time.
With Scott Sinclair sold and Lewis Morgan apparently on route to Inter Miami an injury to Mikey Johnstone tonight has left Lennon with very few options out wide.
Discussing injuries in his post-match interview with Radio Scotland Lennon said (17 min 40 sec):
Elyounoussi we are hoping will train by the end of the week, he won’t be able to play for a while.

After being out of action for the best part of three months Celtic will be careful with the recuperation for the Norwegian.
Lennon was delighted with tonight’s 3-0 win away to St Johnstone which maintained Celtic’s five-point advantage at the top of the SPFL Premiership.
Olivier Ntcham, James Forrest and Leigh Griffiths scored in the opening half hour as the visitors blew away any prospect of a shock to rack up their fourth successive win of 2020 ahead of away days at Hamilton and Motherwell.
