Roberts, who joined Celtic on an 18-month loan deal from City in the January transfer window, started the match, but he was substituted just past the half-hour mark due to a hamstring injury.
There were fears that the 19-year-old winger could be out of action for a long time, but, according to The Scottish Sun, the injury is not as bad as first feared.
It has been reported that Roberts should be fit for Celtic’s Champions League playoff first-leg tie.
