"Callum will miss the game but Kieran is in better shape and he'll be there. It's a calf strain and we're hopeful, he's done very well in recovery, for him to be back next week. It's not related to a previous injury."
"He's been a great captain both in the dressing room and on the field but that's something we'll have to address. We'll have to try and find a few better attacking options."
"Kasper is much much better. He trained today and didn't feel his shoulder. I'll have a look and see [if he'll be in the squad]."
Celtic interim manager Martin O'Neill provided injury updates ahead of the Motherwell match. Captain Callum McGregor will miss the game due to a calf strain but is expected to return next week; O'Neill confirmed it is unrelated to a previous Achilles injury. Defender Kieran Tierney, who missed the Rangers cup victory, will be available this weekend. Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel trained after a shoulder injection and may return to the matchday squad. McGregor's absence was notable in the Rangers match, where Celtic managed only one shot in 120 minutes. Celtic currently trails league leaders Hearts by five points with nine games remaining.
