Celtic squad revealed as Ryan Christie returns from quarantine to face AC Milan might

Celtic are bolstered by the return of Ryan Christie ahead of their tough Europa League Group H opener against AC Milan on Thursday night.

The Hoops attacker was forced to self-isolate after being regarded as a close contact of Stuart Armstrong, who tested positive for Covid-19 on Scotland duty.

Nir Bitton, Hatem Elhamed and Odsonne Edouard are still unavailable due to coronavirus issues with James Forrest and Christopher Jullien also still on the casualty list.

Neil Lennon revealed today that key defender Jullien has a back complaint and will remain out of action for a number of weeks yet in news that will frustrate Hoops fans as much as their manager.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Co. arrive in Glasgow's East end full of confidence under boss Stefano Pioli.

His men are sitting atop the Italian league table after four games.

They have scored nine goals already and conceded only one - with their Swedish talisman grabbing four in just two appearances.

Celtic's potential line-up
