Neil Lennon has revealed that Christopher Jullien and Hatem Elhamed could make starts against Sparta Prague in the Europa League tomorrow.
The pair have been missing in recent weeks due to injury and suspensions, but in his pre-match press conference the Hoops manager admitted that both could be in line for a start.
Lennon also told how Leigh Griffiths will miss the Euro showdown due to a knee problem.
He said: “Griffiths is out with a knee problem but should be ok over the next few days. Jullien and Elhamed are in contention to start.
“We must endeavour to try and win the game. Our away record in Europe has been pretty good. We take all the positives from that and bring it into the game tomorrow.
“We have to win tomorrow to stand any chance of qualifying. That’s our sole focus now. The reverse game here was as disappointing as we’ve been for a while and it’s important we motivate ourselves to correct that."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
