Scott Brown and James Forrest in Celtic fitness update as Hoops prepare for Copenhagen Europa League clash

Neil Lennon has revealed Celtic captain Scott Brown and talisman James Forrest have been passed fit for the Europa League clash with FC Copenhagen at Parkhead on Thursday night.

The 34-year-old suffered a calf injury in the first leg in Denmark and missed the 3-1 win over Kilmarnock at the weekend while Forrest also returns from a one game absence with a knock.

Midfielder Olivier Ntcham also injured his calf in Copenhagen and is still out, while Ryan Christie is suspended after picking up a yellow card last week.

Lennon said: "James and Scott are fit. Oli is not fit and will be out for maybe another week.

"We had a great win at the weekend but obviously having Scott and his experience and with the way he has been playing this season, to have him in the team is obviously a confidence boost for the squad.

"Jamesy as well, Jamesy is a big-game player and what he can bring to the team as well."
