Celtic squad revealed for Ferencvaros as Josip Juranovic question looms large over crucial Europa League clash

It may be an odd kick-off time but there's no questioning how important Tuesday's Europa League clash with Ferencvaros is for Celtic.

Following defeats in their opening two games to Real Betis and Bayer Leverkusen, Ange Postecoglou 's side face a double header that could determine whether they'll be in Europe beyond Christmas, whether that's in the Europa League or a Conference consolation.

An unusual 3.30pm start on Tuesday may see a few sickies pulled across Glasgow as fans flock to a crucial game, and Postecoglou has some good news on the injury front.

Long-term absentee Christopher Jullien is back in training after recovering from a knee injury, and is in the squad for the Europa League.

However, it's likely that the clash with the Hungarian champions will come too soon for the Frenchman.

Winger James Forrest is also back in action and could be involved in the squad but Scotland international Greg Taylor remains sidelined with a shoulder issue.

Summer signing Giorgos Giakoumakis has made two appearances off the bench so far and will be hoping for a more substantial role on Tuesday afternoon.

Josip Juranovic missed the trip to Motherwell but Postecoglou confirmed he was at the "tail end" of his rehab from a hamstring injury, meaning he could be involved.

If the Croat can't make it Adam Montgomery is likely to play on the left, given Boli Bolingoli is not in the Europa League squad.
