Greg Taylor is an injury concern for Celtic’s match against Kilmarnock on Sunday.

The defender put in an impressive display including two assists in the 5-1 win over Hamilton Accies but might miss out on a return to Rugby Park 11 months after his transfer to Celtic.

The plastic pitch at Kilmarnock isn’t one to take any risks on with joint injuries common on that surface.

Boli Bolingoli would appear to be the natural replacement but hasn’t had much involvement in Celtic’s matches to date.

After impressing in the 3-1 win over Hibs the absence of Griffiths underlines Lennon’s urgency to bring in a new striking option.

Patryk Klimala is expected to be on the bench on Sunday with talks on-going to bring in Albian Ajeti to the club on a 12 month loan from West Ham.

On Sunday Celtic will go into the draw for the first two rounds of the Champions League qualifiers with reaching the group stage more important than ever with so many uncertainties about the season ahead.
