Leigh Griffiths blow for Celtic as Neil Lennon provides injury update ahead of Copenhagen clash

Celtic will be without Leigh Griffiths and Greg Taylor for the Europa League clash with Copenhagen on Thursday.

The Hoops flew to Denmark on Wednesday but were without Griffiths and Taylor.

Israeli defender Hatem Abd Elhamed is also still missing despite returning to training last week.

Griffiths trained at Celtic Park on Wednesday morning and it's understood he picked up a knock before they were due to fly out.

But Neil Lennon still expects his side to go into the game in good shape as they look to continue their fine run of form.

He said: "It will be a difficult game. They're tactically very smart.

"We're in good form going in to the game. We know we cant take anything for granted.

"The pitch looks fantastic. We've just been out to have a look and I think when the players see it they'll be looking forward to it.

"We've got a good compliment of players with us. But they're a strong team, difficult to beat and they game out of a difficult group.

"We had a brilliant result at the weekend and I think the players will be ready for the experience tomorrow night."
