Nat Phillips trains with Celtic ahead of Champions League after injury scare
Nat Phillips trained with the Celtic squad ahead of their Champions League opener against Feyenoord.
The on-loan Liverpool defender saw his debut cut short on Saturday when he rolled his ankle towards the end of the first half against Dundee.
Phillips was replaced by Gustaf Lagerbielke at half-time, although he was only scheduled to play an hour in his first appearance since his loan move.
