Motherwell manager Stuart McCall revealed he had a "couple of doubts'' for the Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash but would make a decision nearer kick-off.

Bob McHugh (ankle), Lee Hollis (hip) and Steven Saunders (Achilles) remain on the sidelines.

Neil Lennon wants Celtic to be on guard when they return to Fir Park for the first time since they lost 2-0 in February.

A John Sutton double put a dent in the Hoops' ultimately fruitless Clydesdale Bank Premier League hopes, but they repaid Well with a 4-0 thrashing at Parkhead before a comfortable 3-0 win over the Lanarkshire side in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden.

Celtic recorded another 4-0 win over the Steelmen in September but go into this game three points adrift of their second-placed hosts, albeit with a game in hand.

The Parkhead manager is hoping there is no adverse reaction to Thursday night's morale-boosting 3-1 Europa League Group I win over Rennes at Parkhead.

"I think that 2-0 defeat at Fir Park hurt the players and it was off the back of a good win against Rangers,'' said Lennon.

"We had a good win on Thursday night but we have to be very careful that we don't slip into the same level of performance that we had at Fir Park that day.

"I think the pitch will be in better state this time, which might suit us better, but with Motherwell being at home it will be a tough game.''

"Stuart McCall has done a fabulous job there,'' Lennon added. "They still have the same personnel which got them to the cup final last season.

"They lost John Sutton, who could have been a big loss, but (Michael) Higdon has come in and done very well.

"They have been very consistent and their results home and away they have been excellent.

"There is obviously a good collective spirit there and they are a good football team as well.''

Glenn Loovens is out for Celtic. The Dutch defender suffered a recurrence of a hamstring complaint against 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.
