Celtic v Motherwell teams confirmed as Steelmen start with one centre-back and Hoops star misses out

Motherwell head to Parkhead with one fit centre-back this afternoon as they take on Celtic.

Ricki Lamie hobbled out of last week's Premiership draw with Hibs and with Sondre Solholm Johansen and Juhani Ojala already injured, left-back Jake Carroll comes into the team at centre-back.

Barry Maguire also returns from suspension in place of Dean Cornelius as Fir Park manager Graham Alexander makes two changes from the draw in Edinburgh.

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou makes a raft of changes from Thursday's Europa League victory over Real Betis.

But the big news is star striker Kyogo Furuhashi is unavailable after a hamstring injury in the match, meaning Celtic start with no striker.

A positive result for the Steelmen would cement their place in the Premiership's top four.
