Connor Goldson will miss the match with Celtic because of a hip injury.

Manager Michael Beale explained the situation ahead of the game in a conversation with Sky Sports.

The 31-year-old centre-back is seen as the team's defensive leader and will be a huge miss. He will be replaced by summer signing John Souttar, making his first Old Firm start.

And Beale revealed the bombshell injury occurred right at the end of yesterday's training session.

He said: "Right at the end of training yesterday, he had a problem with his hip. We thought it might be okay but. unfortunately not.

"It's a big loss because he's been fantastic since he's come into the team.

"We will get a scan on Monday and see the extent of that.

"John has been fit for two months, he's been training well and waiting for an opportunity and what a fantastic one it is for him."
