Fans of Celtic have been reacting to a post on Twitter, in which Alison Conroy relayed the comments of Neil Lennon, who provided an update on the injuries within the Celtic squad at present.
In her post, Conroy relayed the comments of Celtic boss, Lennon, who revealed that James Forrest has ‘had surgery on his injured ankle’ and will be out for ‘a considerable time’. Lennon also stated that Christopher Jullien ‘should be back after the international break’.
So, what did these Celtic fans have to say in reaction to the squad update?
A big miss for us. That's a lot of goals we need to find

Losing Forrest for 6-8 weeks is an awful blow for title hopes https://t.co/9Yltvj1dqO

Was hoping I would be able to slate wee Jamesy’s performances soon. Not going to be the case though. Upsetting https://t.co/dJ2S7ewm6R

No good news Alison…

These Celtic fans appear to be disappointed with the update from Lennon regarding the injuries to Forrest and Jullien, and, considering that Forrest currently ranks as the club’s seventh-best player in the Premiership so far this season, while Jullien is their second-best performer in the league this term, this disappointment is hardly surprising.
Who do you think is the bigger loss for Celtic?
Forrest
Jullien
6-8 weeks

All in all, it would seem that the updates on the injuries to Forrest and Jullien have not gone down well with the majority of these Celtic fans, with many of them stating their belief that the players will be a big miss for Lennon’s side over the coming weeks.
