Kris Ajer is an injury concern for Neil Lennon after the 5-0 win over St Mirren.
The defender was an injury doubt before playing at Livingston in midweek and was replaced by Hatem Abd Elhamed with 20 minutes left to play in today’s win.
Ajer has been a fixture in central defence as Celtic raced in front at the top of the SPFL Premiership since the turn of the year playing alongside Chris Jullien.
?? Neil Lennon on Ajer: “He was feeling his calf a little bit but we are hoping it’s nothing significant.”

Celtic have a full week to assess the injury ahead of the Glasgow derby with Hatem Abd Elhamed making a timely return to the team today after four months out through injury.
Lennon has a number of options in defence in Ajer fails to recover in time with the Norwegian internationalist missing the September win at Ibrox.
With Jozo Simunovic also missing Lennon put together a back four of Elhamed, Nir Bitton, Jullien and Boli Bolingoli to anchor the side to victory.
