BRENDAN RODGERS still has no good news on the Kieran Tierney front and won’t say either way if the player will start at Ibrox.
The defender has been struggling with a hip injury since before the Salzburg game, and it seems to be causing him more problems at the end of 2018.
Rodgers was originally confident of having the player back for the Aberdeen game on Wednesday, but now it looks like a push to see him at Ibrox.
Speaking to the media this morning, Rodgers admitted the player is still a doubt.

It remains to be seen who would go into Tierney’s spot if he doesn’t make the Ibrox trip.
Rodgers confirmed every player from the Aberdeen game is fit and ready to go so it could be a straight swap for Izzy.

However, the Celtic manager also mentioned the possibility of playing Hayes in that position.
It’s anyone’s guess at this point.
The news about no further injuries will delight the Celtic support with Benkovic also taking a nasty knock during the 4-3 win at Aberdeen.
