BRENDAN RODGERS has confirmed Celtic will not have to do without Kieran Tierney for the weekend or AEK Athens next week after the player went off in Norway.

The left back limped off towards the end and was replaced by the returning Mikael Lustig who helped see out the tie for the bhoys.

There were fears Tierney had pulled his hamstring but the Irishman put those fears to rest explaining it was cramp which seen the player subbed late on.

🗣 BR on @kierantierney1: “Bit of cramp. Probably could’ve played on but we just wanted to make sure we would close out the game with fully fit players but he should be fine.”

More from the manager soon. #RBKCEL

Phew.

It does, however, throw up an issue if KT were to go down with an injury we have absolutely no credible cover.
