The two were spotted surrounded by officers at the side of the road.

It has been confirmed striker Moussa Dembele was also present at the scene of the crash - although he was thought to have been driving behind his team-mates in his own vehicle.

Paramedics were also called to the scene and a 54-year-old driver was rushed to hospital.

The injuries are not thought to be serious, however.

At this stage it is not clear which of the two Celtic players were the drivers of the Range Rover Sport, which had a French reg plate.

A Celtic spokesperson said: "The Club is aware of an accident earlier today but won't be making any further comment until it has been investigated."

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "We were called at 2.20pm to a road traffic collision involving two cars at Mollins Road at the junction with Orchardton Road in Cumbernauld.

"Emergency services are in attendance and the road has been closed temporarily.
