Celtic squad revealed as Scott Brown and Shane Duffy face fitness race to take on decimated Hamilton

Celtic are sweating over the fitness of Scott Brown and Shane Duffy as they prepare to take on Hamilton Accies.

The Hoops skipper should be free to play in the Lanarkshire clash after missing Wednesday's 2-0 win at home to Ross County.

Manager Neil Lennon hopes Duffy will also be declared fit to play while winger James Forrest remains a long-term absentee.

Meanwhile Hamilton will be missing 10 players for the clash against the Premiership champions.

Marios Ogkmpoe (knee), Will Collar (knee), Shaun Want (thigh), David Templeton (groin) and Lewis Smith (hamstring) are longer-term absentees.

Keeper Ryan Fulton was injured when facing Livingston during the week and the Accies also have three known Covid-19 absences, namely Scott Martin, Nathan Thomas and Ross Callachan.

The latter would have been suspended to face Celtic anyway while the identity of a fourth is as of yet unknown.
