Loovens injury blow for Celtic

Glenn Loovens is out of Celtic’s Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Motherwell at Fir Park on Sunday.

The Dutch defender suffered a recurrence of a hamstring complaint in last night’s Europa League Group I win over Rennes.

Thomas Rogne was ineligible for the game against the French club while Badr El-Kaddouri was cup-tied and both return.

Joe Ledley (calf) and Ki Sung-yueng (illness) are doubts.

Provisional squad: Forster, Kayal, El-Kaddouri, Rogne, McCourt, Matthews, Ki, Ledley, Wanyama, Stokes, Hooper, Samaras, Forrest, Majstorovic, Zaluska, Cha, Commons, Fraser, George, Chalmers, McGregor.
