Celtic No2 Chris Davies has explained the decision to omit Daniel Arzani from their Europa League squad.

Arzani is on a two-season loan at Celtic from Manchester City.

Davies explained: "Daniel is a young player, he is still adapting to the environment here. He is two weeks into his training programme here, which is, in normal terms, still early pre-season.

"He still has a way to go to get up to speed but he has a two-year loan and we are going to support his development.

"His main priority is to build up his condition, he's had half a development team game. The style we have is fast-paced and intense so players have to be at that level."
