Celtic squad looking 'vibrant' ahead of Barcelona meeting

Celtic boss Neil Lennon suggests his squad has a little bit more vibrancy as they prepare for the Champions League visit of Barcelona on Tuesday.

The Bhoys will get back midfielders Beram Kayal and James Forrest from injury and illness but may miss Welsh defender Adam Matthews with a virus.

Lennon feels his playing group is in a strong position ahead of the clash with the Blaugrana.

"Injury-wise we are okay," Lennon said.

"Adam felt a bit ill. Maybe there is a virus going about so we have to keep an eye on that but with Kayal and Forrest joining the squad on Sunday, we are looking a wee bit more vibrant again."
