Celtic squad revealed as Ismaila Soro to be assessed but two stars return from injury

On-form midfielder Ismaila Soro will be assessed before Celtic's trip to face St Mirren after being involved in a car crash.

The Ivorian is, however, expected to be cleared to play in Wednesday night's Premiership clash as Jim Goodwin’s side attempt to secure back-to-back wins over the soon-to-be dethroned champions.

Centre-back Shane Duffy was struck down by illness but has now recovered, while Ryan Christie has shaken off an ankle problem.

James Forrest has returned to training after recovering from ankle surgery but the game comes too soon, and defender Christopher Jullien is out long term with a knee injury.

St Mirren goalkeeper Jak Alnwick will go straight back into the team to face Celtic after serving a one-match ban.

Striker Kristian Dennis faces a lengthy spell out after a scan showed a tear in his Achilles.

Attacker Collin Quaner remains sidelined with a knee injury but could be back for the weekend.
