Celtic striker Gary Hooper has not broken his leg but he could still face six weeks on the sidelines. A scan on Wednesday allayed fears Hooper had suffered a broken fibula during the 1-1 draw against Kilmarnock but ankle ligament damage could keep him out until February. A statement on Celtic's official website read: "Following an MRI scan, the specialist and the Celtic club doctor confirmed the player could be out for up to six weeks with a severe ankle strain."
