Celtic midfielder Joe Ledley is expected to miss all four festive fixtures through injury, according to manager Neil Lennon.

Lennon has made the decision to rest the Wales international until after the short Scottish Premier League winter break.

"Joe will not be back until mid-January when the winter break ends," BBC Sport quotes Lennon as saying.

"He is having rest to settle the injury down."

Ledley will miss matches against Ross County, Dundee, Hibernian and Motherwell.
