Overview
- Reports say the right-back faces seven to eight weeks out with a quadriceps strain, which could end his Celtic season and keep him out of the Scottish Cup semi-final.
- He has returned to parent club Bournemouth for treatment after missing Celtic’s last two matches.
- The layoff halts a strong loan spell that began in January, when he quickly became a starter and scored a stoppage-time winner at Kilmarnock.
- Football Insider reports Bournemouth are willing to sell, though pundit Keith Jackson said the cost and Premier League-level wages make a Celtic deal unlikely.
- With Alistair Johnston not yet back to full fitness, Anthony Ralston is now expected to cover at right-back during a key stretch of league and cup fixtures.
