Liel Abada a Celtic doubt for Leipzig clash as club let star decide on Champions League sit out for Yom Kippur

Matt O'Riley believes Celtic can grab a cherished first Champions League win under Ange Postecoglou – but they might have to do without Liel Abada in Leipzig.

The Israeli star is a doubt for the trip to Germany due to religious reasons. Abada was absent from last season’s Europa League encounter against Real Betis due to Yom Kippur.

The Jewish holy day is due to begin on Tuesday and Record Sport understands a final decision on travel will be left to the 21-year-old. Celtic, who are also waiting on the injury status of Cameron Carter-Vickers, fly out in search of their first Group F success on Wednesday night when they tackle Leipzig.
