Image for VIDEO: Rodgers gives Rogic injury update

Tom Rogic will be available for Sunday’s Betfred Cup semi-final against Hearts at Murrayfield.

The midfielder missed last night’s 2-0 defeat from RB Leipzig due to a recurring knee problem but will be in his usual place for the match against the SPFL leaders.

Brendan Rodgers was asked about the return of Rogic and James Forrest in a post match interview with Celtic TV and was happy to discuss the possibility.

QUESTION ASKED AT 3 MIN 32

Rogic and Forrest have been key players in Celtic’s emphatic wins over St Johnstone and Hibs in which the hoops have hit ten goals.

There was no hint of that sort of form last night in Germany and even allowing for the massive improvement in the quality of opposition it was a disappointing night for the 5,000 travelling Celtic supporters.

With Jozo Simunovic joining the growing injury list and Dedryck Boyata suspended Rodgers will have to put together another new central defensive partnership.

Jack Hendry and Filip Benkovic are the only available central defenders with the only other options with top team experience being full-backs Kieran Tierney and Mikael Lustig.
