Charlie Mulgrew is a doubt for Celtic's Champions League qualifier against Qarabag as the defender is struggling  with a minor knee injury.

But there was some good news for Celtic manager Ronny Delia as Kris Commons has returned to the squad after recovering from a a broken toe.

Gary Mackay-Steven has shaken off illness to be available with Callum McGregor the only other absentee as he builds up fitness following an ankle break.

Speaking ahead of the game, Celtic boss Delia said: “We know we are going to face a very good opponent and we will have to be at our best to get through.

"We are meeting a very good team who had good results in Europe last year. They have good individuals, but mostly it's about the team and their offensive play. In the end it’s about us, though."
