Callum McGregor sparks major Celtic injury worry as captain forced off during RB Leipzig clash

Callum McGregor has dealt Celtic a huge injury blow as he adds to the Hoops' mounting injury problems.

The club captain went down in their Champions League Group F match with RB Leipzig as he chased Christopher Nkunku before the Frenchman put his side 1-0 up at the Red Bull Arena. Medics did treat him and the Celtic skipper opted to carry on but a decision has now been taken to haul him off.

He's suspended for the weekend's Premiership match against St Johnstone but it will be a huge concern for manager Ange Postecoglou, who is already missing starting centre-back duo Cameron Carter-Vickers and Carl Starfelt through injury. There's also been concerns over Aaron Mooy and fellow midfielder David Turnbull was not in the squad for this one, meaning it's a big night for Oliver Abildgaard, who's appeared for one minute since his deadline day move from Rubin Kazan.
