NEIL LENNON has confirmed Celtic will again be without James Forrest for their trip to Rugby Park on Wednesday after the winger missed the Partick Thistle game at the weekend.
There’s better news on the injury front for Kristoffer Ajer and Mikey Johnston who are in contention to start the game against Killie.

The bhoys are back in SPFL action on Wednesday night after the winter shutdown and they’re looking to get back to winning ways in the league.
The Celtic manager changed his system for the Thistle game but with Mikey back – the Irishman could play a more conventional formation on Wednesday.
Ajer would look like the most promising to start at Rugby Park with the artificial surface all but ruling Jozo Simunovic out of the tie.
Marian Shved was in training on Tuesday morning, could we see the Ukrainian in action?
