Brendan Rodgers has revealed that Adam Idah is undergoing a scan on his right ankle.
The striker seems unlikely to be involved in Wednesday’s match against Dundee but it will be a longer term absence that will be causing the Celtic boss concern.
Leading 3-0 and into added time Idah was on the receiving end of a brutal challenge from Liam Gordon that first made contact on his Achilles.
Referee David Dickinson initially awarded a yellow card against the Motherwell defender but after a pitchside review that was upgraded to a red card.
After a few minutes treatment Idam completed the match but that doesn’t seem the wisest of decisions, the striker left Fir Park wearing a moon boot.

He goes for a scan today so we should find out a wee bit later on how that is. A nasty knock he took so we’ll see how it is later.
I can’t worry until I get the results back. I think that it was a poor challenge and thankfully the ground was a little bit wet. So his foot was able to move. If it’d be a dry pitch it could have been a really bad one.
He’s been able to get a bit more movement in it these last couple of days so we’re hopeful that he’ll come out of it okay.
After tomorrow’s match Celtic have three critical games in eight days that they will be keen to have Idah availale.
Facing Aberdeen, RB Leipzig then Kilmarnock with Kyogo Furuhashi as the only natural striker will stretch Rodgers’ squad ahead of the November international break.
If our so-called football bosses dont take action over this assault , then big Adam should sue that motherwell player .
I will take part of that post back,all refs apart from Bobby Madden what a surprise eh,it’s not a foul according to him and it’s not the same of Yang’s.
Lol no wonder that baldy fuck only got one season of being an official in the lower leagues down south,before being booted back up the road.
Potter getting a mention for the sevco job,so much for the Scottish mugs journalists that don’t like to link other managers out of a job with the job of another manager still in post.
Potter for the sevco job,aye even Harry can’t help them out with that magic wand of his.
Comical Ali stuff when these sevco players get interviewed and tell everyone they are coming for us all.
