Celtic will be without both Tom Rogic and Scott Brown for this evening’s game against RB Leipzig.
Manager Brendan Rodgers confirmed that the captain will be out for two to three weeks with a leg injury while the Australian playmaker is out with a knee problem.
Striker Leigh Griffiths will also be missing for the Europa League clash, and fans on Twitter have already dismissed their chances of getting a result tonight:
Didn’t want to win anyway tbh

With a League Cup semi-final against Hearts on Sunday, Rodgers may have been tempted to make a number of changes for the trip to Germany. However, with injuries and suspensions, the Hoops will have few options to rotate their squad.
The Scottish club are still, though, in contention in group B. They have three points from their opening two games, level in the group with tonight’s opponents Leipzig. Red Bull Salzburg are currently top with Rosenborg propping up the table.
