New Celtic signing Camilo Duran is a doubt for the friendly against Sporting due to illness.

The Colombian remains the Parkhead side's only signing of the summer to date after securing a £5.5 million move to Glasgow from Azerbaijani side Qarabag last week.

Following a draw with Shelbourne in Dublin last week, Celtic flew out for a camp in Portugal and play Sporting this evening.

He said: “He didn’t train today because he was ill. So we’ll see how he is.”
