Celtic have confirmed Ryan Christie will miss the William Hill Scottish Cup final. The midfielder is undergoing surgery after suffering multiple facial fractures during a collision with former Aberdeen team-mate Dominic Ball in last weekend’s semi-final at Hampden. The 24-year-old will sit out the cup final against Hearts and looks certain to miss Scotland’s European Championship qualifiers against Cyprus and Belgium in June. Manager Neil Lennon told Celtic TV: “It’s multiple fractures of the eye socket, jaw and cheekbone as well so the prognosis isn’t good for the rest of the season really. “We just have to look after him as best as we can and get him back for the start of next season. “He’s had a great season, he’s a huge player and it was a really horrendous collision. We wish him a speedy recovery. “With it being multiple fractures, it’s going to take a bit more time.” Defender Jack Hendry also looks like he has played his last game of the season after pulling up in a reserve defeat by Rangers. Lennon said: “Jack Hendry played in a reserve game and has torn a hamstring. He looks like he is going to be out for the rest of the season as well.” Topics Scottish Cup, Scottish Premiership, Ryan Christie, Scottish Cup, Scottish Premiership, Celtic Celtic overcome St Mirren to move closer to Premiership title Lennon pleased to see players get game time against Livingston Callum McGregor wants to win another treble for injured team-mate Ryan Christie Celtic midfielder Christie to undergo surgery The hivemind: The most popular trends in the FPL transfer market Brown disciplinary hearing moved forward Gracia challenges Watford to prove they can deal with Deeney loss Everton boss Marco Silva urges Andre Gomes to learn from his mistakes Newcastle will not overspend to remain in the Premier League, insists Charnley Frenkie de Jong: I’d have no worries trying to beat Barcelona in Champions League Arsenal turn attention to €35m Ivory Coast centre-back Quiz!
