Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that his captain Callum McGregor will miss this weekend’s trip to Livingston in the Scottish Premiership.
The boss said before the international break that he would be assessed ahead of Sunday’s game, and it has now been revealed by Clyde 1 Superscoreboard that he be absent for the clash.
Although having the skipper and manager absent this Sunday is a blow for Celtic, they should have enough to push past Livingston.
The Lions did come to Parkhead a few weeks ago and put up a fight, but at this stage of the season, the Celts can’t afford any more dropped points.
If they are to win the title, Rodgers’ team need to be nothing short of impeccable and with a relatively full-strength squad available barring McGregor, there is nothing to say they can’t.
Their push to the title starts in West Lothian this weekend in a game that is even more hotly anticipated than normal because of the recent break.
