Celtic manager Martin O'Neill faces a dual injury crisis as defender Kieran Tierney (injured) returns from Scotland duty while captain Callum McGregor (injured) faces a longer absence. Tierney is hopeful to face Motherwell on Saturday, but McGregor's recovery timeline remains unclear. This leaves the Scottish champions short-handed for a crucial Premiership clash.

Meanwhile, O'Neill has warned all away supporters will be banned from future games against Rangers after hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of damage was done to Ibrox following Celtic's penalty shootout Scottish Cup quarter-final win. The scenes of destruction have forced the club to reconsider ticketing policies. Liverpool's Andy Robertson, 31, has stated future contract talks will not be 'played out in public' after coming close to joining Tottenham in January.

Former Hibernian goalkeeper Conrad Logan has praised winger Martin Boyle, expected to leave Easter Road this summer, calling him 'deserves every accolade'.
