Add as preferred source on Google

Celtic fans have been delivered a double dose of delight on Friday, with key team news over Shane Duffy and Odsonne Edouard.

The pair will both by part of the squad as we travel to Ross County on Saturday for the 3pm kick-off.

Neil Lennon delivered the update on Friday afternoon, and the news was soon relayed by Clyde reporter Alison Conroy.

She tweeted: โ€œShane Duffy straight into the Celtic squad for tomorrowโ€™s game at Ross County. Odsonne Edouard is back.

โ€œNir Bitton has a sore knee so may not feature. Leigh Griffiths almost ready to return. Tom Rogic back in training.โ€

So other than Bitton possibly missing out, good news all round.

And many Celtic fans were pretty chuffed with the update if their replies were anything to go by.

Celtic could do with some freshness at County

It would be great to see both Duffy and Edouard in the starting line-up for the game.

This Celtic side has looked pretty stale so far this season and some fresh/returning faces could help kick us on to a new level.

Duffy played the entirety of Irelandโ€™s recent international double header, while Edouard featured and scored in both of the French under-21โ€™s games.

So both should be raring to go. Letโ€™s just hope the gaffer decides to play them. And Albian Ajeti too, while heโ€™s at it.
