Deal done for left back to go back to Scotland in summer

“He is in Barcelona at the moment and will probably be heading out to another team,” said Rodgers. “He made something like 20 appearances for us, played in some very important games and made his Champions League debut. So we are disappointed that he has left.” Meanwhile, Unai Emery has allayed fears over another lengthy absence for Tyrone Mings after the Aston Villa defender’s distraught reaction to his latest knee injury against West Ham on Sunday. Emery even floated the idea of Mings facing Celtic on Wednesday, only to be contradicted by the Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey.
Mings was not pictured at the pre-Celtic training session on Tuesday afternoon, despite Emery planning to assess him there. “We are going to decide how every player is feeling,” said Emery. “We have Lamare Bogarde in the squad as well, he is training every day and competing very well. Sil is another option because he is training with us, but we are thinking of letting him leave on loan. I think he will need more experience to get minutes.
Emery was effusive in praising Celtic and Rodgers. To his credit the Villa manager refused to mention the scorelines – 5-0 and 7-1 in Emery’s favour – from his time facing Celtic when he was in charge of Paris Saint-Germain.
