Celtic manager Neil Lennon is keeping his fingers crossed that Mikael Lustig will be available for next week's Champions League home clash with Ajax.

Lennon added: "Joe is due to start training on Friday, as is Tom Rogic. "Tom had an injection in the groin area before the international break so has been doing some physical work this week after a rest last week, so I'm hoping he will join us on Friday. "James Forrest has had a 10-day rehab so we are hoping he will be up and at it for the weekend. "So the squad is starting to take a little bit more shape again. "Boerrigter will take another week or so, he has a bit of soreness in the (ankle) bone and it can take a considerable period of time to heal properly. "But we are hoping in a week to 10 days he will be able to join the rest of the players."
