Leigh Griffiths has joined Celtic’s growing injury list and is rated as doubtful for Saturday’s match against Brechin City.

During the course of Tuesday it emerged that Marvin Compper and Tom Rogic will both be out of action with medium term injuries.

Now Griffiths has been added to the list of players on the sidelines that includes Jonny Hayes, Patrick Roberts and Stuart Armstrong as well as Compper and Rogic.

In The Sun Rodgers said: “Leigh Griffiths didn’t train today, so we’ll see how he is. He twisted his ankle a bit, so we’ll see how it is over the next couple of days.”

The Celtic boss does have Moussa Dembele and Odsonne Edouard to call on to play up front but with a heavy schedule of fixtures coming up he’ll be hoping that Griffiths is soon available for selection.

After the match with Brechin Celtic face Partick Thistle, Hibs, Hearts and Kilmarnock before getting a free midweek.

Only Armstrong and Griffiths of the injured players are expected to be available for the Europa League matches against Zenit St Petersburg in the middle of February although Rodgers is hopeful of adding to his squad this month.
