Celtic are awaiting scan results on Scott Brown’s hamstring injury as they hope to have him for their big Europa League match against Red Bull Leipzig mid-week.

The 33-year-old Brown was injured during the first half of Celtic’s 4-2 SPFL victory over Hibs and had to be substituted off.

Manager Brendan Rodgers told Celtic TV: “We are just awaiting the scan results. It was a problem just below his knee and at the top of his calf.

“He didn’t want to come off but you could see he was struggling with his mobility and agility. It was a real sore one for him.”

After scoring just seven goals in their first seven games, Celtic’s attack has exploded for 10 goals in their last two league games.

Rodgers hopes that Celtic can bring that form with them into Europa League play.

“We always have to go in with a mindset that we’re going to get a positive result,” he said.

“Can we take our domestic form into that level? We know we are playing against a really good opponent.

“We respect it’s going to be a tough game, however, we have come into much better form and confidence and it will be a real examination for us away from home in Europe.

“But we want to go in with the same quality and confidence.”
