Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that Kieran Tierney remains a doubt for the Old Firm Derby tomorrow afternoon.
The 21-year-old has not played since the 2-1 loss to Red Bull Salzburg earlier this month due to a knee injury.
At his pre-match press conference this morning, Rodgers said that Tierney has an outside chance of featuring:
“He is a doubt, but we’ll assess after training and see how he is.”
Fans on Twitter are praying that the fullback is fit to face Rangers:
Please make it Kieran ??

It’s more than likely that Emilio Izaguirre will be given another run out despite his mistake in the 4-3 win over Aberdeen on Wednesday.
The Honduran gave away a penalty in the first half, fouling Niall McGinn after making a poor challenge in the box, and was substituted at halftime for Jonny Hayes.
