Celtic midfielder Tom Rogic is out for two more months after suffering another ankle injury in training.

The Celtic midfielder has had surgery to repair the damage and is not expected to return until the back-end of the season as his team-mates chase a treble.

Rogic has not played since December 17, when he injured his ankle against Dundee, and Celtic have won all nine games in his absence.
