Celtic leave Arzani out of Europa League squad

Socceroos starlet Daniel Arzani has been left out of Celtic's 43-man squad for their upcoming UEFA Europa League campaign.

Manager Brendan Rodgers submitted his selections to UEFA on Wednesday (AEST), with Arzani failing to make the cut alongside Scott Allan and Marvin Compper.

The 19-year-old's omission comes as a surprise after arriving on a two-year loan deal from Manchester City, having been tipped to prosper under Rodgers' stewardship.

Arzani will instead have to wait to make his European bow as the Hoops prepare to face RB Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg and Socceroo Alex Gersbach's Rosenborg in Group B.

Meanwhile, fellow Australia midfielder Tom Rogic earned his place in the squad and will be integral to Celtic's continental success this season.

Rogic was instrumental this past weekend, creating the game's only goal as Celtic ran out deserved winners over Old Firm rivals Rangers at Parkhead.

Celtic kick off their Europa League campaign at home to Rosenborg on September 21.
