Celtic line-up vs Hamilton predicted as Neil Lennon looks to fill Jeremie Frimpong void

Neil Lennon faces a dilemma at right-back against Hamilton tonight as Jeremie Frimpong is set to join Bayer Leverkusen.

The 20-year-old is abroad in talks over a potential move to the Bundesliga side.

And Lennon will look to fill that void as Celtic try to get back to winning ways against Accies at Parkhead.

The Hoops are yet to pick up a win in January after a 2-2 draw with Livingston a week ago.

The good news is that the 13 first team stars who were in isolation have another week of training under the belt and Odsonne Edouard is also set to return.

Kris Ajer will likely keep his place at right-back with Frimpong's absence and impressing there against Livi. Vasilis Barkas will stay in goals with Diego Laxalt, Nir Bitton and Stephen Welsh, who replaces Shane Duffy, making up the back four.

It will be an unchanged midfield diamond of Ismaila Soro, Ryan Christie, Callum McGregor and David Turnbull. Elyounoussi, who got on the scoresheet against the Lions, should partner Edouard up front with Leigh Griffiths dropping to the bench.

Celtic predicted XI vs Hamilton: Barkas, Ajer, Welsh, Bitton, Laxalt, Soro, McGregor, Christie, Turnbull, Edouard, Elyounoussi.
