Shane Duffy to miss Celtic's clash with Hibernian after leaving Dubai training camp early

Shane Duffy will miss Celtic's Scottish Premiership match with Hibernian after leaving Celtic’s Dubai training camp early to deal with a personal matter.

The Republic of Ireland defender, who flew back to London during the week, will return to the squad after Monday’s game.

The Derry man has failed to nail down a regular role in recent weeks after inconsistent displays, and was unconvincing after Neil Lennon called his number in last weekend’s Old Firm defeat at Ibrox.

Meanwhile, Nir Bitton is suspended for Monday's game after being sent off at Ibrox last weekend.

James Forrest remains unavailable but has stepped up his rehab work following ankle surgery.

Hibernian will again be without goalkeeper Ofir Marciano (calf).

But they have filled the void left by Marciano’s injury and Dillon Barnes’ return to QPR with new loan signing Matt Macey and Kevin Dabrowski, who was recalled from Dumbarton.

Kyle Magennis (hamstring) and Sean Mackie (thigh) remain out while Scott Allan is building up his fitness after illness.
