What the report says

BBC Sport Football reports that Celtic manager Martin O’Neill is concerned about midfielder Mika Baur after the player picked up an injury in Celtic’s 1-0 win over Kilmarnock. The update comes amid a wider Scottish football gossip roundup, but Baur’s fitness is the main injury issue highlighted for Celtic.

The article says O’Neill also addressed other squad matters after the match. He explained that winger Haissem Hassan missed Sunday’s game because of what he described as “manoeuvring,” while he said he would not have wanted Kasper Hogh to take the penalty that Benjamin Nygren missed against Kilmarnock, even if Hogh had still been on the field.

Elsewhere in the roundup, Hearts head coach Wouter Vrancken said he is optimistic about getting players back from injury and hopes Malachi Fagan-Walcott’s problem is not serious. The piece also mentions comments from Aberdeen and St Johnstone figures following recent Scottish Premiership results, placing the Celtic concern within a broader weekend of injury updates and post-match reactions.

The development matters because Celtic are in a tight domestic season where player availability can quickly affect team selection and momentum. Injury updates at this stage are often closely watched, especially when they involve regular squad members or players who have only recently returned to action.
