Celtic midfielder Stefan Johansen hopes to shrug off a thigh injury in time to face Dundee in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday.

The Norway international suffered a tightness of his muscle during the 2-2 draw with Ajax in Amsterdam in the Europa League on Thursday.

Charlie Mulgrew has thigh injury which kept him out of that match, and he is likely to be out for another few weeks.

Stuart Armstrong has a back problem, while fellow midfielder Scott Allan is still recovering from a knock and both miss out.
