Celtic midfielder Paul Hartley has no problems with boss Gordon Strachan over losing his first-team place. The 32-year-old has been an unused substitute in Celtic's last two matches after starting their goalless draw against Rangers.

"I spoke to the manager before the Motherwell game and he just said he was changing it," he told the Evening Times.

"You just have to go by his decision. I don't have a problem with that.

"Of course you want to play every game. But, especially with the amount of midfielders we've got, there are going to be changes.

"I've accepted you are not going to play every week. I'm not the only player who has gone through that.

"It's just about how you react. When you are called upon you have to be ready."
