Celtic will assess players before Sunday’s Old Firm derby with Rangers after Thursday’s Europa League defeat.

Martin O’Neill said the squad would complete a recovery session following the disappointment at Celtic Park, with several players being monitored after picking up knocks during the match.

Speaking ahead of Sunday's game, Celtic manager Martin O’Neill said: “The players are just a bit of a warm-down today [Friday], the lads who played most of the game, so we'll see how they are.”

“There’s one or two lads who came off; we'll have a look to see how they are tomorrow.”

He said the players who featured heavily were taking part in the warm-down before medical staff decide whether any problems could affect selection.

O’Neill said there were concerns over one or two squad members forced off before the final whistle.

Celtic face a quick turnaround as they seek a response when they host Rangers in a Premiership encounter on Sunday.

The match is the second Old Firm derby of the season, and O’Neill has little time to prepare his squad.

Medical checks over the coming days will determine who is available for Sunday’s match against Rangers, who defeated Celtic 3-0 last weekend.
