Celtic squad revealed as Leigh Griffiths vies for start and Neil Lennon faces defensive selection dilemma

Celtic will be without suspended defender Jeremie Frimpong for their Betfred Cup tie against Ross County on Sunday.

Neil Lennon is hopeful of having Leigh Griffiths available, however, after he sat out of Thursday's Europa League exit at the hands of Sparta Prague.

The striker is touch and go with a knee injury but the opportunity to rotate the squad may see him earn a rare start.

Christopher Jullien made his return to action during the week and he will be available, as will the talismanic Odsonne Edouard who found himself on the scoresheet in Prague.

Mikey Johnston and James Forrest both remain on the sidelines with long-term issues.

Tom Grivosti will miss out for County after suffering a hamstring tear at Kilmarnock last weekend.

Jordan Tillson and Regan Charles-Cook both suffered heavy knocks at Rugby Park and are doubtful.
Ross Draper (calf), Michael Gardyne (ankle), Oli Shaw (groin), Carl Tremarco and Connor Randall (both hamstring) remain out.

But the experienced Iain Vigurs returns from suspension as County look to cause an upset.
