Celtic boss Tony Mowbray has revealed that Marc-Antoine Fortune faces up to two months on the sidelines after the forward injured his medial ligament in last month's Champions League defeat against Arsenal.

The 28-year-old Frenchman, who has scored twice in six appearances for the Bhoys so far this season, played on after picking up the injury in the Emirates Stadium encounter.

Mowbray said: "He's damaged a medial knee ligament and it'll be about six weeks to eight weeks for him.

"We were aware of a bang to the knee during the game but it wasn't bad enough to come off and it's when the game's finished and the adrenalin runs away that players start to notice how much of a problem it is."
