67 Hail Hail delivers the latest injury news coming out of Lennoxtown including Kieran Tierney, Alistair Johnston, Auston Trusty and Kasper Schmeichel updates.
Is Kieran Tierney fit to play?
The answer to that question isn’t known yet. There’s a doubt over his fitness because in the second-half against Braga, he appeared to have some cramp.
He shook it off but was then substituted off by Brendan Rodgers. If it was only cramp, then Tierney should be okay to face Motherwell.
However, Marcelo Saracchi has been in good form and may oust the Scotland left-back.
Did Kasper Schmeichel train on Friday?
Images circulated across social media on Friday showing Kasper Schmeichel not wearing any gloves as he walked out onto the Lennoxtown training pitch.
Some feared he had picked up an injury, but it may well be that the goalkeeper was having a rest and recovery day after playing Braga the night before.
Schmeichel made a number of errors against the Portuguese side, so will Rodgers stick with the big Dane for Motherwell?
Alistair Johnston update from Canada boss Jesse Marsch
Celtic right-back Johnston obviously won’t play any part against the Steelmen, but his Canada manager Jesse Marsch has provided an update on the player.
He said: “Alistair is already starting to get on the pitch and do some individual work.
“And that should bode well for him potentially making an early return and being available for our games in November.”
Auston Trusty latest
Trusty returned to training a week ago but wasn’t included in the matchday squads for the Hibs draw and Braga defeat.
So it’s still up in the air if Rodgers makes him available to face Motherwell on Sunday.
