Hesselink blow for Bhoys

Celtic have been rocked by the news that injured striker Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink could miss vital games against Hearts and Benfica with an ankle problem.
The Dutch striker aggravated an existing injury in last Saturday's SPL clash with Dundee United and was forced to miss the Bhoys' 3-0 Champions League victory over Benfica in midweek.
And the £3.5million summer signing from PSV Eindhoven looks set to miss the return trip to Benfica on November 1 and also the top of the table clash with Hearts at Celtic Park three days later.
"It's disappointing because these are the types of games I came to Celtic for," admitted Vennegoor of Hesselink.
"I had really no chance of making the Benfica game and, to be honest, I don't think I'll be playing for two or three weeks now."
