Celtic's injury troubles are mounting as Marcelo Saracchi left the pitch after just 22 minutes against Kilmarnock.

The champions were 1-0 up at Parkhead when the left-back was replaced by Kieran Tierney.

This adds to interim boss Martin O'Neill's injury headache, with Saracchi's condition yet to be confirmed.



It is feared to be another hamstring issue, similar to those affecting several other players.

The club are already grappling with absences of key players due to similar injuries.

Cameron Carter-Vickers is out until 2026, and Kelechi Iheanacho is weeks away from a return.

Alistair Johnston is also sidelined with a hamstring problem.
