Celtics Mikael Lustig is anticpating changes in personnel over the summer One of the issues that may need addressing over the short summer hiatus in the east end of Glasgow is Celtics unwieldy squad; they currently have 22 midfielders on their books - not an ideal recipe for squad harmony, according to Mikael Lustig.There is a lot of players in the same positions and thats maybe one of the weaknesses that we have, he said. Ronny Deila, pictured at the Lennoxtown training complex earlier this week We dont have 11 to 15 players who are always in the first team - there have been a lot of changes between games.We will see what the new manager wants to do with the club. Maybe some will have to go, maybe he will bring in some new players as well. Ronny Deila has some regrets as he prepares to say his goodbyes on Sunday Motherwell manager Mark McGhee meanwhile insists the club are bending over backwards to extend the stays of their out-of-contract senior players.Stephen McManus, Lasley and Hammell have been told the club cannot afford to pay the same deals, while Craig Samson and Scott McDonald are also in talks.Motherwell have lost £2m over the last four seasons and McGhee said: Its not really a take-it-or-leave-it because we are bending over backwards in order to persuade them to stay. Stephen McManus is one Motherwel player out of contract this summer We need a squad next year of 20 and we dont have a generous benefactor sitting in the wings to make up some shortfall. Those days have gone here.We must work with what we have. The offers we have made and, if offers are improved, will be based on real money, on what we can afford without making the club go bust again.As to Sundays game, McGhee insists his side will take succour from their victory at Parkhead before Christmas. He said: We will not be going there with any fear because we know we can give them a game, and because there is nothing to lose: we have got fifth place and there is nothing else to be decided.
