The Story in 60 Seconds

Celtic are preparing for their Scottish Premiership clash against Motherwell following an extended three-week international break. The club is monitoring the fitness of eight players after enduring a three-game losing streak that reduced their lead at the top of the table to two points. Key players including Yang Hyun-jun, Kieran Tierney, Alistair Johnston, Callum Osmand, and Landon Emenalo are expected to be available or close to contention.

Benjamin Nygren remains a minor doubt after returning early from international duty with Sweden, while Joel van den Berg's condition remains unclear after previously wearing a walking boot. Winger Jota recently featured in a behind-closed-doors friendly but will not return until later this month as Celtic carefully manage his recovery from an 18-month layoff.
