Celtic squad revealed as Vakoun Issouf Bayo returns for Livingston clash

Celtic will still be without the likes of Leigh Griffiths and Jozo Simunovic as they travel to take on Livingston.

Vakoun Issouf Bayo returns after the Ivorian striker was suspended for Thursday night's 2-0 Europa League win over Cluj at Parkhead.

Neil Lennon has no reported injuries from the Group E game but forward Mikey Johnston is working his way back from a groin complaint while defender imunovic (knee), striker Griffiths (thigh and virus), midfielder Daniel Arzani (knee) and goalkeeper Scott Bain (thumb) are still out.

For the home side, Livingston striker Lyndon Dykes is rated only 20-80 to make the visit of the Ladbrokes Premiership leaders due to an ankle injury.

Forward Chris Erskine (pelvis) and midfielder Scott Pittman (knee) are still out while defender Hakeem Odoffin is working his way back after surgery.

Manager Gary Holt also has "a couple of concerns defensively" but is hopeful that, with the international break following the match, the unnamed players in question will be available.
