Brendan Rodgers has given an update on the fitness of Adam Idah after the forward was on the receiving end of a rough tackle against Motherwell last weekend - with the Irishman set to go for a scan.
In the closing stages of Sunday's match, with Celtic already 3-0 up, Idah was fouled by Liam Gordon in the middle of the pitch with a reckless lunge to his ankle.
The Motherwell player was initially given a yellow card, but a VAR review saw it upgraded to a red. The Fir Park side have since decided not to appeal the decision.

Despite the return of captain Callum McGregor at Lennoxtown today, Idah missed training.
Speaking on the Irishman's status, Rodgers said: "[Adam] goes for a scan today, so we should find out a little later on how that is.
"It was a nasty knock he took, so we'll see how that is. I can't worry [about it] until I get the results back. I think that it was a poor challenge and thankfully the ground was a little bit wet. So he was able to move. If it'd be a dry pitch it could have been a really bad one.
"He's been able to get a bit more movement in it these last couple of days so we're hopeful that he'll come out of it okay."
