A number of Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to give their thoughts on the news that Marian Shved and Jack Hendry will play no part against Sarajevo in Tuesday night’s Champions League qualifier.

The Hoops new arrival and Ukraine international was in line to make his competitive debut for Neil Lennon’s side against the Bosnia and Herzegovina side but he and Hendry suffered training ground knocks.
