Celtic hope for Patrick Roberts compromise with England over Under-20 World Cup

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers hopes to find a compromise with England Under-20 bosses to ensure Patrick Roberts can play in the Scottish Cup final.

The Under-20 World Cup finals, where the winger could be part of England's squad, clashes with Celtic's 27 May match against Aberdeen at Hampden Park.

"England will announce their squad in May and I am sure there will be a discussion," said Rodgers.

"We want him to be here, so we will see how that goes over the coming weeks."

Roberts is near the end of an 18-month loan spell at Celtic Park from Manchester City and has made 41 appearances this season, scoring seven goals.
