Celtic are 'addressing' comments made by Kris Boyd about Callum McGregor.
The former striker wrote in a newspaper column about the Parkhead captain's facial injury, commenting that no Rangers player had 'tested' his protective face mask during Wednesday's Old Firm clash.
McGregor played the full 90 minutes less than two weeks after fracturing his cheekbone.
Supporters have reacted angrily to the comments made by the ex-Scotland international.
Boyd wrote in The Scottish Sun: "Callum McGregor played with a fractured cheekbone.
"The fact he managed to get through the 90 minutes without anyone testing that face mask is another story, but his commitment to the team was tremendous."
Celtic have now responded on Twitter, telling fans they are currently 'addressing' the remarks.
A statement said: "With regards to comments made by former professional footballer Kris Boyd concerning Callum McGregor's injury, we can confirm that the matter is currently being addressed by the club."
