SQUAD UPDATE: TWO IN FITNESS RACE

SHANE DUFFY and Mohamed Elyounoussi will have their injuries assessed today as Celtic prepare for tomorrow’s 7.30pm kick-off against Ross County in Dingwall.

The on-loan double-act are both doubts for the trip to the Highlands as the nine-in-a-row champions search for their sixth successive Premiership win.

Brighton central defender Duffy has an Achilles problem and Southampton’s attacking left-sided star Elyounoussi has a leg knock which could sideline them for the encounter against John Hughes’ relegation-threatened club who ended the Hoops’ phenomenal run of success in domestic Cup competitions when they staged a sensational 2-0 Betfred League Cup victory at Parkhead in November.

Neil Lennon will give them every chance to prove their full fitness before he finalises his travelling pool of players.
