Brendan Rodgers has been hit with another injury headache with fears Alistair Johnston could be out for weeks with a suspected cracked skull.
The Celtic defender was raced to hospital in Edinburgh on Wednesday after suffering a nasty head injury in the dramatic 2-1 win against Hibs.
Johnston is out of tomorrow’s Scottish Cup clash at St Mirren – along with Cameron Carter-Vickers, Greg Taylor and Reo Hatate – but the Hoops are sweating on the results of a scan to discover if the Canada star is facing a lengthy absence.Rodgers said: “He won’t be available for the weekend.
We think he has a slight fracture on the side of the head. Hopefully we’ll get the result from the scan. It just seems to be a season of continual issues especially around a lot of our starting players.
