CELTIC STORM THROUGH

CELTIC manager Neil Lennon admits Kristoffer Ajer is a major doubt for Ibrox this weekend but played down fitness concerns over Odsonne Edouard. Both players went off as Celtic stormed into the Europa League group stages with a 4-1 victory over AIK in Stockholm, less than three days before they face Rangers. Ajer limped off with a groin strain inside 15 minutes to add to Lennon’s defensive woes, with Hatem Abd Elhamed and Jozo Simunovic missing the play-off second leg through injury. And Edouard, Celtic’s first-choice striker, went down after feeling his hamstring and signalling that he wanted to come off. James Forrest netted a brilliant counter-attack goal in the 17th minute and Mikey Johnston forced an own goal from the AIK goalkeeper with Christopher Jullien and substitute Lewis Morgan both also scoring.
