# Injury blow could become boost for Celtic fans at the best time

**Celtic are just two games away from an unbeaten treble-winning season, much to the delight of the punters propping up the bar in the Transfer Tavern.**

With one league game left and the small matter of a Scottish Cup final next week, the Hoops are absolutely delighted about the complexion of their campaign, though comments on their [official wesbite](https://www.celticfc.net/news/12627) have caused some slight concern.

They’ve [revealed](https://www.celticfc.net/news/12627) that forward Moussa Dembele remains a doubt for next week’s clash with Aberdeen at Hampden Park, though he will [reportedly](https://www.celticfc.net/news/12627) be given every chance to prove his fitness.

The 32-goal marksman has been out of action since the semi-final win over bitter rivals Rangers last month, though is [thought](https://www.celticfc.net/news/12627) to have returned to light training of late.

“He’s in light training and hopefully next week he can take some part in full training,” [said](https://www.celticfc.net/news/12627) assitant manager Chris Davies.

“It’s a progressive rehab he is going through. He is starting light training on the grass and next week will make things a bit clearer. From my understanding, it will be too early to say. He is a very conscientious guy and he will give himself every chance of being available in some capacity for the final.”

Though Leigh Griffiths is doing a wonderful job in the Frenchman’s absence, those backing the green and white cause in the bar are desperately hoping Dembele returns for the final.

**Thoughts?**
