Celtic squad revealed as Mikey Johnston could return for Hibs showdown

Skipper Scott Brown is struggling to be fit for Celtic's Betfred Cup semi-final against Hibernian at Hampden Park on Saturday.

The midfielder went off with a thigh injury in the 2-0 home win over St Mirren on Wednesday night and is a doubt.

He declared himself fit afterwards but Celtic boss Neil Lennon revealed earlier on Friday the veteran could now miss the showdown against his former club.

Striker Vakoun Bayo will see a specialist on Monday with regards a knee problem, Leigh Griffiths and Mikey Johnston are back in training while Jozo Simunovic (knee) remains out alongside Daniel Arzani (knee) and Greg Taylor is cup-tied.

Hibs, meanwhile, will assess winger Martin Boyle after he made his comeback off the bench from an ankle break in midweek.

Boss Paul Heckingbottom also reported multiple knocks on unnamed players.
