JAMES FORREST sadly missed the Glasgow Derby defeat at the weekend and he’s not quite there yet for the Aberdeen game.
John Kennedy confirmed both James and Mikey Johnston won’t make the Aberdeen game but will be back in contention after that which means they will be available for the final Glasgow Derby of the season.
The Interim Celtic manager also revealed Tom Rogic pulled up in training before the game at Ibrox and that was the reason behind his absence.
Unlike Forrest and Johnston, Tom will be back in the squad for the game at Pittodrie.
?️ JK: "Out with that, James Forrest will still be missing for this midweek, but will hopefully be fine afterwards. The same with Mikey Johnston.”#ABECEL

?️ JK: "Tom Rogic had issues the day before the Rangers game, in the warm-up he was struggling a bit and couldn’t take part in the game. He’s come through training today so he’ll be available tomorrow which is good news."#ABECEL

It’s as dead as dead rubbers come for Celtic as they head north to play the Dons.
What’s even more grating for the support is the game will not be televised on Sky Sports. It can only be watched on Aberdeen TV which is behind a paywall and will set you back £12.99.
Celtic fans want to watch their team at any point in time but asking to fork out more money for a dead rubber is not ideal.
I’m sure some of our more tech savvy supporters will find a way to watch the game.
