Joe Hart and Giorgos Giakoumakis failed to make the bench for the defeat to Sydney FC due to knocks but could return in time for Sunday.

Moritz Jenz also missed the game but he may miss out once again against the Toffees. Stephen Welsh suffered a nasty head knock with his involvement yet to be decided.

Celtic's Joe Hart: “It’s a long, long trip and it takes the body a bit of time to get used to it.

“It does help with the bonding, we’re going through life experience together. I’ve been on a lot of these kinds of trips but this one is a long way and it’s two games with a quick turnaround.

“I’ve been on a few in pre-season where you don’t know where you are half the time! But with this one it’s clear they really want us to be here and we want to come and entertain.”

Everton manager Frank Lampard: “When you take this job you understand that talk is going to come, particularly if you take on a job like Everton, and where we were last season.

“There’s a bit of a process to try to get us back to where we want to be. The Premier League’s so competitive it means that you go through these patches.

“I’m pretty good at not paying too much attention to [coaching rumours], just understanding what it is. You go from one week from being best manager in the world after an amazing result to [the opposite] – it can go both ways.

“It’s fine. I’m fortunate to do the job I do, and I’m fortunate to have had a really long playing career. It gives me good context. I try to stay pretty level headed."
