Brendan Rodgers has a big decision to make on his goalkeeper ahead of the Champions League clash with Manchester City.

Celtic lead the way in the Scottish Premier League but are looking for an improved showing in Europe after being mauled 7-0 by Barcelona in their first group game.

As they prepare to face Pep Guardiola's free-scoring side, there is a problem with the last line of defence.

Dorus de Vries was brought in by Rodgers this summer and the 35-year-old has quickly been established as the No.1 at the club. But he was substituted at half-time in their 6-1 win over Kilmarnock after being beaten by a 40-yard strike.

“Dorus strained his chest when he landed," Rodgers said .

"He could have played on but we had Craig [Gordon] there fit and capable and I didn’t want to take any risk with it so we will see how Dorus is over the next couple of days.“

As well as his chest, there are concerns over De Vries' hands; the goalkeeper is yet to convince everyone at Celtic Park and there is a debate over whether he should make the starting XI even if he is fit.

Rodgers added that Gordon would be "more than capable" of coming in for the game, although his appearance off the bench on Saturday was his first league game in over a month.
