    Neil Lennon admits Celtic are facing an injury sweat after Kris Ajer hobbled off during the emphatic win win over AIK.

    The Premiership champions were on fire as they swept aside the Swedes 4-1 on the night and 6-1 on aggregate to book their place in the Europa League group stage.

    The Celtic boss is facing a selection headache ahead of Sunday's clash with Rangers at Ibrox with Ajer extremely doubtful.


    Fellow right-back's Hatem Abd Elhamed is working his way back from injury and new signing Moritz Bauer isn't up to speed.

    Ajer's game was over in the 13th minute as he appeared disconsolate as he trudged off

    Lennon concedes Ajer is facing an uphill battle to shake off his knock

    The manager said: "It's a groin strain for Kris so he's going to be very doubtful for Sunday.

    NL: “Our injuries have been clearing up pretty well. We’ll have to see about Kris (Ajer) for the weekend but he’s confident about it.

    I would expect Ajer to say he was fit to play on Sunday if his leg were hanging off. Hopefully Lenny is taking the medical staffs' word over his, as starting with a defender who is likely to break down during the match would be a mistake.

    He said he’s feeling fine. Which worries me, last defender Lenny believed saying that was Efe against Juve

    Difference being, Efe couldn't play 90 mins while doing a handstand.

    Ajer will, playing LW, still be MOTM

    Would be a big boost if he makes it. Fingers crossed.

    Not just because he has been one of top performers this season but the whole rejigging required if he doesn't.

    Plus he's a * warrior and we need him out there.

    Can honestly see him getting duffalo sent off.

    So Ajer at CB and start Bauer at RB? or Ajer continuing at RB with Bitton playing CB?

    Ajer cb. Don't trust bitton at cb greatly if I'm honest. Does a job but can be bad positionally

    Yeah I agree with that. Ajer can handle Morelas' scratching, fighting, pushing ect. Bitton hasnt got the physical strength to deal with that. Bauer at RB is a gamble, he hasnt played a game this season but I think he will be thrown in.

    Bitton against that wee shitehawk gives me the fear. Big Ajer will launch him into BF1 in the opening minutes and that will be him done but for sulking moaning and getting a red card for his 44th red card offence of the day
