Ange Postecoglou has confirmed star defender Cameron Carter-Vickers will miss Celtic’s Champions League clash with RB Leipzig on Wednesday night.
The United States international was a doubt for the Group F clash at the Red Bull Arena after pulling up in training before the St Mirren defeat in Paisley before the international break.
Carter-Vickers missed the weekend win over Motherwell and – with his regular partner Carl Starfelt out since early September with a knee injury – Stephen Welsh and Moritz Jenz are expected again to deputise in the centre of the Hoops defence.
Postecoglou arrived in Germany also without winger Liel Abada and midfielder Aaron Mooy. The Celtic boss said: “Cameron wasn’t 100 per cent so he is not with the team. “Liel Abada didn’t travel, obviously Carl Starfelt (is still out).
