Celtic duo Mikael Lustig and Nir Bitton are injury doubts for Sunday's Scottish League Cup final against Motherwell.

Lustig limped off early during Celtic's 7-1 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday and was not able to train on Friday morning.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers says Bitton, who came on to replace Lustig at the Parc des Princes, will undergo a late fitness test ahead of the Hampden Park final on Sunday.

"It was more a dead leg (for Lustig). He had a bit of bleeding in the Ross County game and he felt it in the next game (against PSG)," said Rodgers.

"Nir Bitton had a slight knock as well so we will assess them over the next 48 hours and we'll give them the opportunity to be fit and ready."
