As Celtic prepare for tomorrowβs game versus Livingston at The Tony Macaroni, Neil Lennon will be able to call upon almost all of his first team following a self-isolation order. The Scottish Champions need to win tomorrow to have any hope of winning the league; however, they were rocked with the news that there was another positive case within the ranks of those isolating.

As a result, fans took to the clubβs Lennoxtown photos to scour and see who was missing. There were two notable absentees as the preparations for the game were underway β Odsonne Edouard and Olivier Ntcham.
The French duo are likely to have been interacting with their compatriot, Christopher Jullien in Dubai and as a result one of them may have caught it as a result or the fact they are missing at training may be something a bit more simple to explain, such as an injury.
Edouard caught COVID-19 whilst on International duty with Franceβs U21s and as a result, missed vital games. Although, the club can argue the Kieran Tierney case in which Arsenal were able to use him despite an isolation order as he had already recovered from the virus. It will be interesting to see how the issue progresses and as always, we wish whoever has contracted the virus the speediest of recoveries and hope to have them back soon.
