James Forrest and Kris Ajer are injury doubts for Celtic’s Scottish Cup tie away to Partick Thistle.

Both players were used extensively through December, playing in eight of the nine matches that Celtic were involved in.

HOW IS THE SQUAD LOOKING FOR TOMORROW (4 minutes 50 seconds)

We have a few injuries, obviously Ryan is suspended. Elyounoussi and Elhamed they are still out, Elhamed, we still don’t know the extent. He picked up a groin injury again in Dubai so we’ll see how that goes along. Hopefully Moi (Elyounoussi) will be fit for the end of the month.

Jamesy (Forrest) and Kris Ajer are doubts as well, we’ll monitor them today.

With Scott Sinclair sold and Lewis Morgan apparently on route to Inter Miami a few more injuries starts to stretch the Celtic squad.

Christie, Elyounoussi, and Elhamed are definite non-starters with Tom Rogic and Mikey Johnstone reported to have been carrying knocks in Dubai. Although pictured training in Dubai there has been no word on the fitness of Jozo Simunovic.

Marian Shved looks like being back in the matchday squad tomorrow with Nir Bitton playing in central defence alongside Chris Jullien.

With two matches in 16 days coming up on the plastic pitches at Kilmarnock and Hamilton no risks can be taken on anyone less than 100% fit.
