Celtic defender ruled out of B

Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers has been ruled out of the Hoops' Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund.

The centre-back has missed Celtic's last two games with a toe injury and has not been included in the matchday squad for this evening's game against last year's Champions League finalists.

Manager Brendan Rodgers said in his pre-match media conference in Germany: “Cam is not available. We’ll see what he’s like going into next weekend, but he’s not here for this one.

“Clearly he’s a top-class player for us and he’s missed a little bit of Champions League football I think in his time, five of the 12 games the club has played he has unfortunately not been able to play in.

“But we have other players. It’s always an opportunity for somebody else to come in and hopefully we can get Cam back sooner rather than later.

“But we can’t over-think it. We will rely on the collective. There’s not one player that brings our results and how we have been this season. Of course he’s a very important player, Cam, but for us to get a result it will be about the collective.”
