Alistair Johnston will be out for “about 12 weeks”, says Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers after the right-back sustained a hamstring injury in the 0-0 draw with Kairat.

The Canada international, 26, was withdrawn after 35 of the Champions League play-off first leg.

Johnston has made 115 appearances since joining Celtic from CF Montreal in early 2023.

Brendan Rodgers’ side face Kairat again in Kazakhstan on Tuesday (17:45 BST) after hosting Livingston in Saturday’s Scottish Premiership match (15:00).

“Not great, he’ll probably be about 12 weeks,” said Rodgers.

“For Ali, we just want to make sure that we’re in a really good position in all competitions when he gets back.”
