Efe Ambrose is suspended for Celtic's Premiership clash with Hamilton at New Douglas Park on Sunday.

The Nigeria defender was red carded in the last league game against Hearts but left-back Emilio Izaguirre, who was banned for the 2-2 Europa League draw with Fenerbahce on Thursday night, is back in contention.

Defender Jozo Simunovic is a huge doubt with a twisted ankle while Charlie Mulgrew is still out with a thigh complaint.

Ronny Deila admits Efe Ambrose is susceptible to mistakes, with the defender arguably at fault for both the goals Celtic conceded in their draw with Fenerbahce

Ronny Deila's team are looking to return to winning ways following back-to-back draws against Hearts and Fenerbahce, both at Celtic Park.

Hamilton player-manager Martin Canning is hopeful Darian MacKinnon will return for Sunday's clash, which could see his side move to within a point of the Scottish champions with a win.
