ANGE POSTECOGLOU has provided a Celtic injury update following today's defeat to Sydney in Australia.
The Scottish champions were defeated 2-1 by the hosts as they started their Sydney Super Cup adventure.
Key first-team stars Joe Hart and Giorgos Giakoumakis missed the match and Postecoglou has updated on their fitness.
He said: "Joe Hart was a bit sore after the last game and Giako had an infected toe so he missed training yesterday. They might be in for Sunday."
Defender Stephen Welsh was taken off with a nasty head injury during the Sydney match and Postecoglou also updated on his condition.
Asked if he had concussion, he responded: "I don't know mate he is getting his head stiched up and that was our main concern."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
