Neil Lennon looks set to make changes for his Celtic side that will play Nomme Kalju on Tuesday night. The Hoops boss has already revealed that Callum McGregor and James Forrest will not be playing in the game.
He has also disclosed that Craig Gordon looks set to return to the Celtic goal for the first time in 2019.
“It’s a good opportunity Craig Gordon has a good chance of starting as well” Lennon said, as reported by the Daily Record.
He then went on to reveal that Gordon has a chance to prove himself to the manager, as he has not played since Lennon took over due to a knee injury.
“He’s training well”
“He didn’t play when I came in due to a knee problem, but he’s over that now, and he’s training well” Lennon concluded.
Gordon now has a real opportunity to show that he deserves another chance as Celtic’s number one goalkeeper.
Scott Bain has held the number one position since January. He has done very well. But Gordon has a great opportunity should he start against Kalju.
May not have much to do in game
The only problem that he might face is not having a lot to do in the game. Kalju didn’t exactly create many chances in the first leg.
However, should Gordon do the job required, then he could provide Neil Lennon with an intriguing dilemma ahead of the start of the domestic season.
