CELTIC skipper Callum McGregor has been ruled out until after the World Cup break.
Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that the Hoops captain will be out of action until after the mid-season pause.
The Scotland international suffered a knee injury after a 50-50 tackle against RB Leipzig midweek in the Champions League.
Postecoglou initially reported that it didn't look great for the 29-year-old.
On Friday he was sent to visit a specialist in London to get a full gauge on the extent of his injury.
Now, Postecoglou has revealed that Celtic will be without their skipper for around a month.
He told Sky Sports: "It looks like he'll miss the next three or four weeks which would put him out until after the break."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
