Albian Ajeti is fit to play for Celtic in tomorrow’s derby, while Odsonne Edouard will be assessed prior to kick-off.
The Swiss forward hasn’t featured for us since going off in the league win over Hibernian last month.
Ajeti had just netted the second goal against the Leith side when he seemed to injure his hamstring.
News on that front had been quiet in recent weeks, but now it seems like the 23-year-old is fighting fit to play in his first derby clash.
As per Ronnie Esplin’s Friday update, Lennon says that Ajeti is fit.
Odsonne Edouard will be assessed before the game, just 10 days or so on from contracting COVID-19.
Dream scenario still on
Reading between the lines, it seems like the dream partnership of Ajeti and Edouard could be on the cards for tomorrow’s match.
You would expect Ajeti to play if fit, and the same can be said of Edouard. If the Frenchman wasn’t going to be available, would Lennon not have ruled him out today?
The front pairing have only started together once thus far – as they both netted in our 5-0 success against Ross County.
Is now the time for them to be unleashed, against a Rangers defence that is there to be got at?
Let’s hope so.
