Scott Brown and James Forrest are available for Thursday’s night’s Europa League clash with Copenhagen but Olivier Ntcham will miss out.
That was the news that Neil Lennon delivered at his media conference today with the sight of Brown training this morning a great boost to everyone at the club.
Last week, in the first leg of the tie, Brown was substituted after 73 minutes with concerns over a calf injury.
?? NL: “James and Scott are both fit. Oli isn’t fit and will be out for another week. Having Scott and his experience is a confidence boost, and we know that Jamesy is a big game player.” #CELCOP #UEL

Forrest and Brown missed the 3-1 win over Kilmarnock at the weekend but the club’s two most experienced European campaigners will be in the line up for tomorrow’s second leg.
With Ryan Christie suspended Tom Rogic is likely to start as Celtic look to make the last 16 of the Europa League for the first time since 2004.
Chris Jullien and Odsonne Edouard are one booking away from being suspended for Celtic’s next European match.
