Reports are suggesting that Moussa Dembele should get the all-clear to play tomorrow night and given the form that he has been in and the partnership he has struck up with Odsonne Edouard then getting him onto the pitch will be a boost for Celtic.

But it will be up to the player himself to make the final call on whether he is fit to play or not.

He won’t be silly enough to risk it if he feels his hamstring is still tight because we all know that the consequences of that can be two months sitting out of it and then playing catch-up when you do get back in. It would be silly to risk it if there is any doubt whatsoever, but the player will know himself whether he is physically ok or not.

In my time at Celtic, Martin O’Neill didn’t look at the injured players. If you weren’t fit, you were no use to him. No-one wants to be out of the team especially at the start of the season when you are trying to build up a bit of momentum.

Brendan will ask Dembele if he is fit and the call will be made from there.

But it is exciting times ahead because the way that he and Edouard dovetail has all the makings of a really exciting partnership that will reap a load of goals this season. I honestly think that the three strikers - Leigh Griffiths is still to come back - is an attacking trio that is reminiscent of myself, Chris Sutton and Henrik Larsson.

All three strikers bring different qualities into the team and are a real threat. Leigh will always score goals for you and the other two look menacing every time they are on the pitch together. It augers well as the club strive to make it back into the group stages of the Champions League.
