Tom Rogic latest as Neil Lennon reveals injured Celtic star heading back to Australia for his wedding

Tom Rogic will fly to Australia to tie the knot next month – just days before Celtic could be involved in a Champions League group opener.

The crocked Aussie international, who has had knee surgery and an ankle ligament problem, has yet to make an appearance for Celtic this season.

And Rogic is planning a trip home for his wedding during the September international break.

Boss Neil Lennon said: “We are rehabilitating Tom and he’s not far away from joining the group.

"But he’s going back in one of the international breaks when he’s not playing. He’s not ready to play but we’ll have him in a couple of weeks and he’ll be in the squad.

And the Kieran Tierney thing will go one way or the other and if it goes our way we'll have him back too, so that's two class players to add what we already have.

"He's not ready to play but we'll have him and in a couple of weeks he will be in the squad anyway. That's two quality players that we haven't had the luxury of using so far.”

The group games will kick off on September 17/18.
