Hibernian Celtic (CIS cup)

Celtic could be without NINE first team players for tomorrow’s League Cup tie with Hibs including skipper Charlie Mulgrew.

Neil Lennon described his stand-in skipper as ‘pretty doubtful’ due to an ankle injury as he faced up to the first of a double header against the Edinburgh club.

Glenn Loovens and Mohamed Bangura will definitely miss out with Kris Commons and Georgios Samaras also missing out on the trip to the capital.

Emilio Izaguirre, Scott Brown and Kelvin Wilson are already on the long term injury list with doubts hanging over the fitness of Mulgrew and Mark Wilson for tomorrow’s match.

Defence is the biggest concern for Neil Lennon who may bring in Thomas Rogne for his first appearance of the season.

For anyone wondering, the match is live on BBC2 Scotland (for those outside Scotland, that is Sky 990 & Freesat 970) & the BBC Sport website (UK only).

We should win this, wont be surprised if we see a young team out.

For the love of God Celtic.

Yaaaaaaaas!! Well done the Sellik!

Good result Celtic, absolutely shite in the first half though!

Still not convinced by Forster. I'd play Zaluska over him any day

Absolutely buzzing after that Hibs-Celtic game. Good match. Fair play to Calderwood, he picked an attacking line-up, as Collins suggested, and they had a right-go. Blew out too soon, though. Played into our hands. We've been very low on confidence of late. It was fan-fucking-tastic to see the team brimming again with real belief. Haven't seen that in 6 months or so.

James Forrest is some player. Love him. Comfortably player of the season in Scotland, so far.

Delighted.
