Jahmai Simpson-Pusey has said he wants to feel the love after joining Celtic on loan from Manchester City.

Russell Martin claimed criticism of some of his Rangers squad following their deflating 1-1 draw with Motherwell on Saturday came from a position of "love and care."

Celtic have been drawn against Kairat Almaty or SK Slovan Bratislava in their Champions League play-off tie, while Rangers could face Salzburg.
