Celtic boss delivers key injury update ahead of potential title party

Brendan Rodgers has delivered the latest on Celtic’s injury situation as the champions-elect prepare for a potential title-clinching clash against Dundee United at Tannadice tomorrow.

The Hoops are on the brink of sealing their fourth consecutive Scottish Premiership crown and need only to avoid defeat to get the celebrations underway - potentially while rivals Rangers are in action against St Mirren in Paisley.

Celtic will once again be without first-choice goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, who remains sidelined following a shoulder injury picked up on international duty with Denmark in March.

Winger Hyun-Jun Yang also continues to miss out due to an elbow issue, and young defender Dane Murray is still unavailable.

Speaking to the media ahead of the trip to the City of Discovery, Rodgers confirmed: “No, no real change. Similar squad.

“Kasper is not back, Yang is not back, Dane Murray is still out. So, yes, pretty much the same.”

With the finishing line in sight, Rodgers will be hoping his side can deliver one more big performance to ensure the champagne is flowing by mid-afternoon.
