Under-pressure Hedman has chance to save his reputation

The Sweden international was expected to get the chop after he was blamed for Bayern Munich’s late winner on Wednesday in the Olympic Stadium. But he earned another chance today after Celtic boss Martin O’Neill said Rob Douglas would be sidelined with a side and back strain.

“Rab has had this problem for a while which is why he will miss tomorrow and it’s affecting his movement in his back and down his side,” O’Neill said. “Rab is injured and has been feeling the effects for some time. There’s been many a match when he hasn’t been properly fit and been sore for quite a number of weeks.”
