Forrest, Lustig to return as Celtic get set for AC Milan

Celtic is set to get back a pair of key players for Tuesday night's crucial Champions League clash with AC Milan.

The Hoops host the Rossoneri on Matchday 5 and will have winger James Forrest and defender Mikael Lustig back in tow for the fixture which could see them move to second spot on the Group H table.

Forrest missed the weekend's win over Aberdeen with a hamstring injury but has been passed fit for the visit of the Italians while Lustig is expected to replace Darnell Fisher at right-back after he missed the Dons victory following his national team duties with Sweden.

Celtic require a victory to move above both Milan and Ajax provided the latter, who are take on group leaders Barcelona in Amsterdam, fail to win.
