Celtic comeback marred by broken Hartley

GORDON STRACHAN revealed that Paul Hartley is out of Scotland’s Euro 2008 double-header against Ukraine and Georgia next week after injuring his hamstring in the 2-1 win over Gretna at Fir Park.

The midfielder was playing in the unfamiliar position of right-back in the absence of three other players, Mark Wilson, Jean-Joel Perrier Doumbe and Paul Caddis.

The Scotland midfielder was substituted after 18 minutes of the win, courtesy of a late strike by Scott McDonald, that takes them back top of the Premier League, two points above Hibernian.
