Borna Barisic is looking increasingly likely to play against Celtic on Sunday.

The Croatian internationalist has had some nightmare matches against the hoops and has dropped out of favour since the turn of the year.

Now Ridvan Yilmaz is being tipped for a £20m move to Juventus in the summer but he was injured after just 26 minutes of Turkey’s 1-0 defeat to Hungary on March 26.

The former Besiktas starlet missed the follow up international with Barisic playing left-back against Hibs last Saturday.

Clement gives little away on injuries, even when players are likely to be out for a number of games it is rare for any definite news to emerge in a media conference.

Yilmaz is hardly a superstar but he hasn’t been through the traumas that Barisic has suffered in this fixture including taunting from Callum McGregor.

Liel Abada has been the main tormentor but in recent matches Nicolas Kuhn has started to show some real quality, Sunday could be the match that really gets his Celtic career going.
