Motherwell boss Steven Hammell was pleased with the effort his depleted side showed against a Celtic side he admits is "one of the best" the top flight has seen in years.
But he fears those efforts have come at a cost with a "serious" injury to defender Bevis Mugabi after a challenge by Aaron Mooy, as well as concerns for striker Kevin van Veen and midfield duo Stuart McKinstry and Ross Tierney.
The Steelmen were edged out by the Hoops at Fir Park after goals from Kyogo Furuhashi and Daizen Maeda were enough to seal victory, despite Tierney pulling a goal back late on.
