Celtic travel to Rosenborg on Thursday night for a must-win game in the Europa League group stages and manager Brendan Rodgers has a selection dilemma ahead of him.

The Bhoys are locked together in their group with second-placed Leipzig and realistically need to win against Rosenborg to harbour chances of reaching the knockout rounds.

The Scottish champions secured a comfortable 3-0 away win at Hamilton on Saturday to give themselves a boost and they welcomed back centre-forward Leigh Griffiths from a knee injury.

Griffiths came off the bench for a late cameo and made his mark by scoring a powerful low free-kick to wrap up three points.

The 28-year-old is just returning from a setback, but will Rodgers look to unleash him against Rosenborg?

Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard looks settled in the XI for the foreseeable future given his form, but there is the option to play Griffiths alongside him.

The left-footed ace has scored seven goals across all competitions this season despite his injury problems and can be a serious threat on his day.

They do of course have great goalscoring threats in the team with the likes of James Forrest and Ryan Christie in great form, but Griffiths is a prolific scorer that could trouble the Rosenborg backline.
