France under-21 striker Odsonne Edouard of Celtic also tested positive on Tuesday and has left his team.

Scottish Premiership champions Celtic said no other players in the squad had tested positive.

Edouard, who misses the under-21 European Championship qualifiers against Liechtenstein and Slovakia, will have to isolate for 10 days due to Scottish government rules.

Celtic play the Old Firm derby against Rangers on Oct. 17.
