Tierney is a concern for Lennon

-

Celtic’s interim manager, Neil Lennon, has expressed his concern about the health of left-back Kieran Tierney, who looks likely to miss tomorrow’s meeting with Rangers,

Lennon had told Celtic TV on Thursday evening that the player was “fine” and looking forward to playing at Celtic Park but he broke down again at training yesterday with a recurrence of a calf injury.

That and a persistent hip problem have seen Tierney miss a third of Celtic’s competitiv­e games this season.

“He probably needs a rest,” said Lennon. “We’ll try to get him over the line as quickly as possible and shut him down for a while. I’m not ruling him out, but it didn’t look great this morning. We’ll see. It’ll be judged by the medical team as well.”
