Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is confident Odsonne Edouard will be fit for European duty after a "reckless challenge" by Aberdeen defender Scott McKenna.

The French striker was left with a dead leg following the incident just before half-time in his side's 1-0 win over Aberdeen.

Rodgers criticised the tackle, but said Edouard should be fit for the trip to Austria to face Salzburg on Thursday.

He was speaking after substitute Scott Sinclair's 63rd-minute backheel gave the champions all three points.

"If you're talking about a reckless challenge then whenever young Scott jumps two foot off the floor like that and takes the striker as high as he has, then the very minimum it's a free-kick," he said.

"I didn't think it was a penalty, it was just outside the line. But of course it gave Odsonne a dead leg and he couldn't carry on. I think after a couple of days it should be fine."

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes felt his team were worthy of a point and could not blame any of his players for the goal.

Leigh Griffiths initially held up James Forrest's deflected cross before it broke for Sinclair.

McInnes, who started with two wingers and two strikers, said: "We came with a team to win.

"A lot of teams come here hoping to win and end up leaving with nothing.

"We have ended up leaving with nothing but we came with a team that was set up to win and we were very close to getting a result."
