Celtic stand-in captain Cameron Carter-Vickers will MISS their Champions League finale with Real Madrid.
Ange Postecoglou 's team are in Spain to face off against the European champions on Wednesday night with their hopes of progression in the competition already at an end. However the Celtic fans would have been hoping to round off the campaign with an impressive display at the Santiago Bernabeu. They will have to do it without their key defender, though, as he has not flown out to Madrid for the showdown, with Postecoglou revealing Livingston's plastic pitch "wasn't great for him".
Postecoglou confirmed that the US international had not made the trip for the final group stage game at his pre-match press conference. The Celtic boss said: "Squad-wise from the weekend, Cameron Carter-Vickers pulled a bit sore from the game on Sunday. The artificial pitch wasn't great for him, so we've left him at home.
"Everyone else apart from Callum (McGregor) is fit and available. We're looking forward to it."
Carter-Vickers had been covering as captain for McGregor, who is also out through injury. Carter-Vickers played the full 90 minutes in the 3-0 win at the Tony Macaroni Arena at the weekend.
