Leigh Griffiths has been omitted from the Celtic team for the fourth consecutive match – and fans have taken to Twitter to express their disappointment.
The Scotland striker would have had hopes of being recalled for Wednesday night’s Scottish Premiership clash against Hamilton at Celtic Park.
But Brendan Rodgers has persisted with French striker Odsonne Edouard as the spearhead of the attack ahead of fans favourites Griffiths and Moussa Dembele.
The Bhoys manager has made a series of changes from the team which drew 2-2 with Hibs at Easter Road on Saturday, which was announced on the Bhoys official Twitter account.

Griffiths’ continuing absence from the first team has got the biggest reaction, with fans scratching their heads over the fact that he’s not in the starting XI once again.
The 27-year-old has not even been summoned from the bench for the Hoops’ last three matches but has insisted on Twitter that there has been no bust-up behind the scenes.
Supporters are unhappy that the forward, who has scored nine goals in 25 matches this season, is on the bench for the fourth match in a row.
