Cowboys news: Dallas praying Malik Hooker's injury isn't as bad as it could be after Week 1 debacle appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
On Sunday evening, the Dallas Cowboys kicked off their season with an ugly 28-20 road loss to the New York Giants. The Cowboys' new-look defense, which had received considerable hype from fans and pundits alike heading into this year, fell flat on its face in this one, finding itself unable to get off the field in the second half against New York.
Things went from bad to worse when Malik Hooker went down with an injury, and on Monday, the team got the latest update on his potential recovery process.
"#Cowboys S Malik Hooker fractured a bone in his forearm and he's consulting with a hand specialist to learn his recovery time, sources say. While some breaks can mean a player is out six weeks, the hope is based on the specific bone and break, it's quicker than that," reported NFL insider Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network on X, formerly Twitter.

Week 3 of the 2026 Central Texas high school football season wasn't a great one for the American-Statesman's top area Class 6A teams: No. 1 Lake Travis, playing only its second game after the Cavaliers canceled their season opener, saw its road game against Cibolo Steele end in a 28-28 tie after lightning forced the game to be called in the third quarter. No. 2 Westlake suffered its first loss at Prosper. And No. 3 Dripping Springs lost at Round Rock.
For the second time in three weeks, weather played a factor in Friday night's games. Weather caused delay issues at a handful of matchups, including Lake Travis-Cibolo Steele in Schertz, Wimberley at New Braunfels Long Creek, Lehman at Lockhart and even Giddings at Smithville. Lehman-Lockhart was moved to Saturday.

The Tennessee ******* ans and New York Jets are set to begin the 2026 season with a Week 1 matchup at Nissan Stadium on Sunday.
A matchup featuring two teams looking to turn their franchises around, there isn't much of an expectation that this game is going to feature much offense to be excited about. With that said, there are a handful of names that fantasy football managers are wondering about for Sunday.
Both the ******* ans and the Jets have some major question marks on the offensive side of the ball, but value can be found anywhere throughout the league.
Here's a look at who to start and sit for fantasy football in this Week 1 matchup:
Wilson's fourth season was cut short to only seven games, but he should be a solid start in Week 1. The ******* ans allowed the third-most fantasy points per game (29.7) to the wide receiver position. Wilson has been plagued by poor quarterback play and while Geno Smith isn't a major upgrade, he's better than what they've had. Wilson should be in for some high-end WR2 numbers.

After watching his team win the Outrigger Invitational last weekend, Hawaii women's volleyball coach Joshua Walker pointed to the mental aspect of the game more than the physical.
"We have a smart team," Walker said. "All these teams we played this past weekend were very different styles. Our ability to adapt quickly, learn quickly and be able to execute was very impressive."
The Rainbow Wahine improved to 4-2 for the season without their leading hitter, Cha'lei Reid, who averaged 3.00 kills in her first three matches before being sidelined with a shoulder injury.
Senior outside hitter Panna Ratkai, who competes with Reid for playing time when Reid is in on the left side, stepped up in her absence.
She averaged 4.00 kills per set among her 52 in the tournament and was named the Old Trapper Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week on Monday.

Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on Michael Olise's situation at Bayern Munich, with Florentino Perez ready to monitor developments around the France international ahead of next summer's transfer window.
Olise was strongly linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu during the summer, but Bayern made it clear that the winger was not available for transfer.
That position effectively ended Real Madrid's hopes of signing him at the time, although the situation could be different next year.
A fresh report from Defensa Central claims Perez and sporting director Jose Angel Sanchez will be watching Olise's position closely after comments from Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen raised questions over the player's long-term future in Munich.
Bayern have consistently presented Olise as an important part of their plans since his arrival, and Dreesen once again explained the club's appreciation of the winger.

Former Boston Red Sox coach and manager Joe Morgan has died at age 95, the team announced Sunday. He was 95.
Morgan spent three and a half seasons as the Red Sox's manager, taking over the job partway through the 1988 season. That year, he led Boston to a 89-73 record and an AL East **** le. The stretch following Morgan's hire was dubbed "Morgan Magic," as the Red Sox won 12 straight coming out of the All-Star break.
"Joe Morgan holds a special place in Red Sox history," Red Sox owner John Henry said in a statement from the team. "When he took over in 1988, he changed the course of a season and created one of the most memorable chapters in the history of this club. The two division **** les that followed only strengthened a bond with Red Sox fans that endured for the rest of his life."
"Joe Morgan managed the Red Sox during some of my most formative years as a fan," Red Sox President & CEO Sam Kennedy said. "Joe made us believe, and when you experience that as a kid, it stays with you. I was fortunate enough to get to know him later in life and found an even better person than the baseball man I had admired. I will miss him deeply."
As noted by Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner noted in the statement, 2026 has seen echos of the 1988 season: After the sudden firing of manager Alex Cora in April, Boston surged through the summer and is comfortably in an AL wild card spot.

Texas football had its first scoop-and-score of the season.
With just over 6 minutes left in the second quarter, Texas State running back Taji Atkins took a carry up the middle. But Rasheem Biles punched the ball out of Atkins hands and Graceson Littleton scooped up the ball to the house for a 59-yard touchdown to push the score to it 28-0 Texas.
On the next drive, the Bobcats avoided the shutout with a touchdown drive against the Longhorns to make it 28-7 with about 4 minutes left until halftime.
Arch Manning then led the Longhorns on a long drive to give UT a chance to extend its lead, but an interception in the end zone kept the deficit at 21 points.

Former Nebraska football and current Kansas City Chiefs running back Emmett Johnson has impressed over the course of training camp and preseason. Chiefs coach Andy Reid identified one specific area that the rookie has improved on over the course of the last couple of weeks.
Johnson had a productive preseason. He recorded 26 carries for 123 rushing yards and one touchdown. He officially secured the number two running back spot on the team's depth chart behind Kenneth Walker, and he is now in a position to take on a bigger role.
There was one specific thing that Johnson got better at over the course of the preseason, as Reid told the media.
"Pass protection. We knew he could run the ball, but the thing we had to see was the pass protection. For him to be that number two back, you gotta be able to do that."
Pass protection is an essential tool running backs need in modern college football. Johnson did it at a high level in Lincoln, and now it seems like he is translating those skills to the NFL.

The Yahoo Expert League was a 12-team live draft streamed on YouTube. You can watch our **** ysis and pick-by-pick reactions for full context, but after taking part in the draft myself, I learned some things that will help you during draft weekend. Here are the top-five lessons learned from this half PPR league, one we will be playing out as a real league.
You can watch the full draft here.
Everyone in the room expressed nervousness about missing out on RBs. This was evident as high as third overall, when Justin Boone drafted Jonathan Taylor, even though it disagreed with his own and everyone's raw rankings. He knew (and was right) that the RB options at the Round 2/3 turn were going to be ugly, and he didn't want to go Zero RB.
Ditto for Scott Pianowski when he took Kyren Williams at 2.07 over literally any of the WRs in the Round 2 tier. Travis Etienne Jr. went 3.02, and Javonte Williams went 3.05. I've seen those players in the fourth round more often than the third round, but in a room full of full-time fantasy **** ysts, the RBs went at a premium early on.
Josh Allen went at 3.07. That's even after his Yahoo ADP, but his selection was instantly met with live roasts from all of the veteran drafters. Allen has been 18th and 30th overall in my half-PPR fantasy points over replacement per game metric in four straight seasons, but this was more of a supply-and-demand **** ysis done by the rest of the league.

Folarin Balogun's £40 million ($54 million) move to Everton from Monaco collapsed hours before the transfer window closed because the United States striker pulled out over his "treatment" by the Premier League side, the Ligue 1 club's managing director said on Wednesday.
Balogun -- who was at the centre of controversy at the World Cup after US President Donald Trump successfully intervened to force FIFA to suspend a red card so he could play against Belgium in the last 16 -- had undergone a medical in England before Everton started to raise some concerns about his fitness.
Although the Premier League side decided to proceed with the deal -- after a couple of hours of discussions between the two clubs' medical departments -- Balogun pulled the plug himself.
"Five minutes before the close of the (English) transfer window... I signed the contract, and Everton signed the contract," Monaco managing director Thiago Scuro told reporters.
"At the last moment, the player decided not to sign.

Keith Downie is reporting that Sunderland and Ajax have agreed a deal that will see Simon Adingra join the Dutch side on loan for the rest of the season. The former Brighton winger, who is currently injured, will join Ajax in the Eredivisie. Last season Sunderland spent £21.5m to bring in Adingra from Brighton, but the Ivorian only managed 15 appearances for the then recently promoted Sunderland. Adingra spent the second half of the campaign on loan at Monaco.
Adingra has a deal until 2030 with Sunderland, who will be hoping that a move to Ajax will help him rediscover some form or attract potential buyers next summer. Adingra came through at Danish side Nordsjaelland, scoring 12 goals in 40 games. In the summer of 2022 he joined Brighton before immediately being loaned out to Union St Gilloise in Belgium. Adingra was great for Union during the 2022/2023 season, scoring 14 goals in 51 games and providing 13 ******* ists. On his return to Brighton he played 73 games, with 12 goals and five ******* ists. He only scored once for Sunderland during his 15 games for the club. For Monaco, he played 17 games with three goals and two ******* ists.
Ajax will be hoping that a return to the low countries will bring out the form Adingra had shown during his time across the border with Union. Ajax have already signed one winger this summer, with Ukranian international Victor Tsygankov joining from Girona.

Former Nottingham Forest midfielder Steve Hodge says Oliver Glasner's side "were the better team" against Liverpool and should have won the game.
Forest fans were dreaming of a third consecutive league win at Anfield when Morgan Gibbs-White gave them the lead from the spot, but Liverpool rallied again and Victor Munoz's late strike ensured the points were shared.
"We should have won [the match] with the chances we created, especially in the first half," said Hodge on BBC Radio Nottingham. "We were against a really lacklustre Liverpool team, who at times looked weak at the back and unsure of themselves.
"Forest have gone to Anfield and scored two goals and overall, were the better team. They had better team cohesion."

XERACO, Spain (AP) — Five-time Tour de France champion Tadej Pogačar posted a photo from the hospital wearing a neck brace and with bandages on his hand and face on Sunday, a day after crashing out of the Spanish Vuelta.
The Instagram post came accompanied by the Bee Gees song "Stayin' Alive."
Pogačar was expected to undergo surgery after being sent hurdling head-over-handlebars in a frightening crash that forced him to pull out of the Vuelta. He suffered a concussion and broke two bones after he appeared to lose control when a stone came rolling across the road.
The Slovenian from UAE Team Emirates had a big lead and was heavily favored to win the **** le to complete a hat trick of cycling's three Grand Tours.
This was Pogačar's 10th Grand Tour and the first he has ever abandoned. He had never finished lower than third place.

The Washington Commanders have completed training camp and the preseason. It was a rough final week for the Commanders, who struggled in Wednesday's joint practice with the Baltimore Ravens before losing 41-3 in the final preseason game.
With the preseason behind them, all of the attention now turns to general manager Adam Peters, who must trim Washington's roster from 90 players to 53 before then turning his attention to the practice squad. Peters has plenty of work to do. Will he look outside the organization for offensive line depth?
The Commanders will face some difficult decisions. Will they keep six or seven wide receivers? Is former third-round pick Luke McCaffrey on the roster bubble? Does Peters keep both rookie running backs? How many cornerbacks? Several starters are battling injuries ahead of Week 1. How will that impact Washington's initial 53-man roster?
We're tracking the Commanders' roster cuts as they happen before Sunday's deadline. Stay tuned to this page for updates.

The Rochester Red Wings continued their postseason push Friday night, rallying from an early two-run deficit to beat the Buffalo Bisons 5-3 at ESL Ballpark and move into a tie for first place in the International League's second-half standings.
Rochester improved to 79-49 and pulled even with Indianapolis atop the International League's second-half race thanks to a four-run fourth inning fueled by doubles from Cayden Wallace and Liover Peguero. Chandler Champlain earned the win with 4.1 innings of relief before Yovanny Cruz recorded his fifth save.
The Bisons broke through in the top of the fourth inning after Yohendrick Piñango singled and scored on Jay Harry's RBI double. Harry later came home on Lenyn Sosa's RBI single, giving Buffalo a 2-0 lead.
Starter Isaac Lyon was charged with both runs, with Champlain entering in relief to record the final out of the inning.
The Red Wings responded immediately in the bottom half.

Matt Shaw is back with the Chicago Cubs after missing the past two months with a left-hand sprain.
The 24-year-old infielder/outfielder was reinstated from the injured list Friday as the Cubs open a seven-game homestand beginning with the Cincinnati Reds.
Outfielder Kevin Alcántara was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
In five rehab games in with Triple-A Iowa, Shaw batted .316 with 6 hits, 4 RBI and 1 stolen base in 19 at-bats. Prior to his injury, he had 20 RBI and 4 home runs while batting .246 through 56 games with the Cubs.
While in Iowa, Shaw saw time at second base, giving Cubs manager Craig Counsell a potential option in the infield. With Dansby Swanson out until at least late September, Nico ******* ner could remain at shortstop while Shaw gets time at second base.

Former Florida defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. is reportedly involved in trade discussions.
The Chicago Bears, who drafted Dexter No. 53 overall in 2023, "have had trade discussions ... and there are multiple scenarios where a deal could get done sending him to a new team," according to NFL Insider Jordan Schultz.
Dexter is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is coming off his best NFL season. He started all 17 games for Chicago in the 2025 regular season, recording 44 tackles, six sacks, six tackles for loss and 38 pressures. Over the past two years, he's started 32 games. He has 115 career tackles and 13.5 sacks through three seasons.
Dexter spent three seasons with Florida, coming in as part of the 2020 recruiting class. He played in 38 games for the Gators, starting 24 of them, and left Gainesville with 125 total tackles (46 solo), 9.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, two interceptions, four pass deflections and two fumble recoveries.
Despite having college eligibility remaining, Dexter chose to enter the 2023 NFL Draft and ended up a second-round selection. At only 24 years old, Dexter has become a full-time starter since then, making him a young option for any team looking to bolster its defensive front.

PHOENIX (AP) — The Chicago Cubs set a franchise record on Tuesday by scoring their 30th unanswered run over three games, breaking the previous record of 29 over a three-game stretch in 1969.
The Cubs started the streak on Sunday, falling behind 2-0 in the early innings against the Seattle Mariners before rallying for a 19-2 win.
Chicago then blanked the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-0 on Monday and jumped to a 4-0 lead in Tuesday's game against the D-backs.
The previous record of 29 happened in 1876 and more recently from May 11-13 in 1969, according to Elias Sports Bureau. During that stretch, the Cubs shut out the San Francisco Giants 8-0 before beating the San Diego Padres 2-0 and 19-0 in consecutive games.

"In our very first year, we went straight in and won it. That was extraordinary. Now we'll see how far we can go this time," says Thomas Broich, Sporting Director of the academy, looking ahead to the next international challenge in England.
Borussia became only the second German team after FC Bayern Munich (2018/19) to win the tournament at the first attempt since it was introduced in the 2014/15 season. Particularly remarkable: Dortmund's team was often younger than their opponents. In the final, BVB's average age was just over 19, while Real Madrid's was a good 21. That gives hope for the mission of defending the ******* le.
On their targeted path toward the knockout stage, BVB will face only English U21 opponents this time:
27.08 Fulham FC 15.12 Aston Villa 18.12 Leicester City 21.12 Nottingham Forest
The PLIC format: 32 teams – 16 English youth sides and 16 international top clubs – first compete against each other in the group stage and then in the knockout rounds. The top two teams in each group advance to the quarter-finals. If teams are level on points, the standings are decided first by goal difference, then goals scored, and finally by a separate fair play ranking.

Bayern Munich believe there is "no way around" giving Harry Kane the Ballon d'Or after the England star scored 61 goals in 51 appearances and helped the German giants win the German double during the 2025/26 season.
Kane also played a key role in Bayern's Champions League run, which ended with a narrow semi-final defeat to eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain, before helping England finish third at the World Cup with six goals at the tournament.
For FC Bayern CCO Rouven Kasper, Kane is in a league of his own when it comes to this year's race for the world's best player award.
"It can only be Harry Kane. We can just give it to Harry," Kasper insisted in an interview with Sky Sports.
"We think there is no way around him this year. When you just focus on statistics, there cannot be anybody else. It does not matter if somebody from Real Madrid wants their player to be there."

49ers 2nd-round rookie WR projected to have 'major role' in Week 1 originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The San Francisco 49ers lost Jauan Jennings in free agency this offseason, Ricky Pearsall for the entire 2026 season, and Brandon Aiyuk amid his standoff with the team.
To say this team needs their new wide receivers to step up would be an understatement. Mike Evans is a big offseason addition, and he should be the leading receiver for this offense. But, behind him, there's a bit of uncertainty.
According to Matt Barrows and Vic Tafur of The Athletic, unlike what Kyle Shanahan has done in the past, 2nd-round rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling is poised for a "major role" in Week 1 of the regular season.
"The 49ers' top draft pick got an early hook for the second consecutive week, not because he was bad, but because it's clear he's going to have a major role in Week 1," Tafur and Barrows report.

We're back with more preseason reactions. I had my full team-by-team takeaways from Week 1 of the preseason here, and I'll update this week's action after watching the All 22 throughout the next couple of days. I have my own fantasy football draft this weekend with the boys in San Diego, so my reactions will be more delayed this time around. Expect a big update on Monday. Thanks for hanging in there.
Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL season
Some key starters rested, but Brock Purdy and the starting offense had a 10-play drive to start the game. Deebo Samuel Sr. and Demarcus Robinson opened in 2-WR sets, while De'Zhaun Stribling played in 3-WR sets initially. He once again dominated targets. Stribling had a great comeback route, a quick out against off coverage and was on the receiving end of a perfect rep on a dig route where he snapped things off cleanly before hands catching the pass in stride while in traffic. If he would've caught his stutter-and-go touchdown up the sideline from the slot, Stribling would've been a Round 6 selection in a hurry. There's overwhelming evidence that the 49ers love him. He has already won the inside-outside hybrid Jauan Jennings role, and there's room for him to quickly be a 2-WR set starter and fantasy-relevant player early on. Samuel hasn't stood out. His ADP is at 123.7 (up 13.3 spots over the last seven days).
Kyle Shanahan was roasted for taking Stribling where he did (33rd overall), but he was also questioned for drafting RB Kaelon Black in the third round. Well, Black was excellent on Thursday, to the point that I believe he's already won the valuable Christian McCaffrey backup role. Black had two key pass protection reps versus blitzers, and this is something that also stood out on his college tape at Indiana. He also was flawless in picking the right hole with the right pacing on his rush attempts. His play speed is better than his time speed because he makes confident, quick decisions. He also finished a couple of runs by flattening defenders. We'll see if Jordan James can return from injury in time to make this a real competition, but for now, Black looks like a draftable player in fantasy football. If you think CMC is missing time, you should be drafting Black. It's as simple as that.
The starters rested, and the second-team offense had extensive run (26 snaps). Of note, WR Tre Tucker was included with the resting starters, while offseason signee Jalen Nailor needed to play the first three drives. As I wrote last week, Tucker was the starter in their 1-WR set look as well, so it's probably time to simply rank Tucker ahead of Nailor as the more proven outside receiver. Meanwhile, Jack Bech was even more buried. He only played four snaps in the first three drives with Nailor, and in total, he played 11-of-16 snaps in the slot. It's possible that a majority of his playing time will come in the less valuable 3-WR sets.

Known more for its head-to-head bout between Brooks Koepka and Tiger Woods at the 2018 PGA Championship than any PGA Tour event, Bellerive Country Club is a course worthy of major championship host status.
The Tour makes its return to St. Louis this week for the second leg of the FedExCup Playoffs, where Bellerive is again set to host the BMW Championship. The club last held the distinction almost two decades ago in 2008, when Camilo Villegas won its first-ever, non-major event.
Other Bellerive winners beside Koepka and Villegas include Gary Player (1965 U.S. Open) and Nick Price (1992 PGA Championship). Sunday's champ not only nets a ton of postseason points and the biggest payout from the $20 million purse, he gets to join that collection of names. Will it be pre-tournament favorite Scottie Scheffler in a repeat of last year's BMW or perhaps the world's second-ranked player looking to avenge a 66th-place finish in Memphis?
Here's how you can watch the action all week on Golf Channel, Golf Channel mobile and more. And also follow with our live scores and tee times!

Scottie Scheffler looks to be ready to pick up where he left off at the FedEx St. Jude Championship last week, with the world number one playing the front nine at Bellerive in four under par during a practice round on Wednesday.
It is extremely tempting to back Scheffler to win all three playoff events this year due to the manner of his victory in Memphis.
The 30-year-old finished eight shots clear of anyone else in a tournament that involved almost all of the top 70 players on the PGA Tour this year.
It was certainly a statement of intent.
Scottie Scheffler is the defending champion this week at the BMW Championship. However, his victory 12 months ago does not count for a great deal, with that event held at Caves Valley.

The injury-riddled Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a perfect position to reunite with a former fan-favorite wide receiver after his recent release.
On Tuesday, the New York Giants released former Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster to make room for their Najee Harris signing. Pittsburgh, however, has dealt with major wide receiver injuries and could use a veteran like Smith-Schuster as a viable depth piece.
The Steelers' top two receiving options, DK Metcalf (unspecified) and Michael Pittman Jr. (right leg), have missed practice over the past few weeks with their respective injuries. Smith-Schuster, who has recorded 5,646 yards and 34 total touchdowns in his career, would immediately compete with Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard for a WR3 role.
Smith Schuster was drafted by the Steelers in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He earned 2018 Pro Bowl recognition for his outstanding seven touchdown, 1,439 yard season.
A reunion seems like a win-win scenario for both the veteran receiver and the team that drafted him. Pittman already tried to recruit Smith-Schuster before he joined the Giants, but now seems like the ideal opportunity to make this dream a reality.

Patrice Evra has nothing but praise for Vincent Kompany, and he believes the Bayern Munich manager deserves far more recognition for what he has accomplished.
Evra pointed to Kompany's journey from being relegated with Burnley to taking charge of one of the biggest clubs in world football as proof of his character and managerial ability.
"And what he's done with Bayern, after getting relegated with Burnley? Bayern are not crazy. Like myself, I'm not crazy. I could see Kompany was always a manager. I see the way when he was talking at City on the pitch or whatever. So he has had it for a long time and he can deal with ego.
"You saw some clip when he was at Burnley, when a player wasn't doing what he wanted, he was going crazy. They respected him because he's someone who achieved a lot of things and he won a lot of things. So he doesn't get the credit he deserves," Evra told Stake.
Kompany faced plenty of skepticism when Bayern Munich appointed him, particularly after Burnley's relegation. However, he quickly silenced many of his critics and established himself as a coach capable of handling the pressure, expectations and egos that come with managing Bayern Munich.

When one watches highlights of the Oregon Ducks football team from last season, Dante Moore sticks out like a sore thumb.
In a good way.
The Oregon quarterback was impressive for the vast majority of that season, and it's quite obvious why Moore has a great chance to bring home the program's second Heisman Trophy. The Ducks were going to be a good team in 2026 whether Moore went into the NFL or not, but when he decided to stay, that lone decision turned Oregon from a good team to a national championship contender.
Even with his great season from a year ago, Moore had to work on some things in order to become an elite quarterback and possibly the No. 1 pick in the 2027 NFL draft. According to Ducks quarterback coach Koa Ka'ai, the fourth-year signal-caller has made all those improvements and then some.
"He's taken a big leap this offseason in regard to defensive recognition and really understanding what all 11 guys on the field are doing, and then just kind of taking that next level step in holding guys accountable," Ka'ai said. "You know, being that vocal guy out there. He's not a first-year starter here anymore. This is his third year in the program, so he's taking a huge leap in that regard."

The midfielder extended his stay at the Hoops over the summer after making an important contribution under Martin O'Neill last season, but will now have to wait for his European debut in a Celtic shirt.
Credit to John McGinley from TCW for his reporting on this, Oxlade-Chamberlain is still serving a three-match UEFA suspension dating back to his final European appearance for Besiktas.
The former Liverpool and **** nal midfielder was shown a straight red card against Lugano in the UEFA Conference League after lashing out at opposition winger Renato Steffen, who was also dismissed.
The incident resulted in a three-match ban which carries over to his time at Celtic.
