Celtic are waiting on news of midfielder Tom Rogic, who was sent home from international duty with Australia after picking up an injury in the win over Kyrgyzstan.

Rogic injured his thigh after coming on as a substitute during the 3-0 win in Canberra and will now miss the trip to Dhaka to face Bangladesh on Tuesday.

Celtic manager Ronny Deila stresses his desire to do well for Celtic in European competition

The 22-year-old will instead return to Glasgow to have a scan in order to assess the severity of the problem.

Rogic suffered a series of injury problems after joining the Hoops from Central Coast Mariners for £400,000 in January 2013 but has been in good form for Ronny Deila's side this season, scoring five goals in 16 appearances.

Deila will be hoping the problem is not too serious, as he prepares his side for the Scottish Premiership game with Kilmarnock on Saturday and the must-win Europa League clash against Ajax on November 26.
