Celtic boss Ronny Deila will have three players returning to Europa League action for the match at Fenerbahce on Thursday evening.

Midfielders Stefan Johansen and Nir Bitton missed the 2-1 reverse to Ajax in November through suspension.

Kris Commons was injured for that game, and has not played since November 5 when the midfielder suffered a knock against Group A winners Molde.

But Commons is fit again after missing the last four games, although he may have to settle for a place on the bench at Sukru Saracoglu.

Winger James Forrest missed the 3-1 victory over Inverness Caley with a knock, but he has now recovered and should play some part.

With Celtic already out of the competition, Deila may be tempted to give further experience to midfielder Scott Allan and left-back Kieran Tierney

Skipper Scott Brown, midfielder Charlie Mulgrew and defender Saidy Janko are all out until the New Year with injuries.

The Turkish side only have to avoid defeat to Celtic to secure second place and progress to the knockout stages of the tournament ahead of Ajax.
