Brendan Rodgers has provided fitness updates regarding Celtic stars Kieran Tierney and Kelechi Iheanacho.
Tierney pulled out of the Scotland squad last week for their 2026 World Cup qualifying games against Denmark and Belarus.
While there are concerns over Iheanacho’s fitness, despite the Nigerian declaring he is ready to face Kilmarnock on Sunday.
So what did Rodgers have to say at his Lennoxtown press conference?

Tierney and Iheanacho fit for Kilmarnock clash
Rodgers told reporters that Tierney is not injured and trained with his Celtic teammates today ahead of the Rugby Park visit.
The Celtic manager did not elaborate on why Tierney withdrew from the Scotland camp, the main thing being he is available for selection.
On Iheanacho, Rodgers confirmed he is also available for selection having trained with his new teammates since Monday.
Iheanacho penned a one-year contract with Celtic after the Hoops failed to buy a replacement for Adam Idah on deadline day.
The striker’s contract at Sevilla was terminated, allowing Celtic to sign him for nothing and reunite him with his old boss Rodgers.
When did Celtic’s Iheanacho last play 90 minutes?
Iheanacho is yet to play any competitive minutes this season, with Sevilla not including him at all in their La Liga matchday squads.
The last time he played for Sevilla was in a friendly against Al Qadasiya, with Iheanacho featuring for 24 minutes. He also earned 44 minutes versus Marseille.
His last 90 minute appearance? That came in March in a 0-0 draw with Luton Town when the 28-year-old was on loan at Middlesbrough.
Iheanacho made 15 appearances for Boro, but only netted once.
