Emery on Mings' injury, Celtic and automatic qualification

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Champions League game against Celtic at Villa Park (kick-off 20:00 GMT).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• The club "will see this afternoon" how Tyrone Mings is after the defender was substituted in the first half of Sunday's draw with West Ham, with Emery stating "if he is available he will play" and "it's not a big injury".

• The manager said Lucas Digne is also an option to play at centre-back "in case we need - like Sunday".

• Lamare Bogarde has been training with the squad but Emery said "we are thinking about letting him leave on loan - he needs more experience to be ready to play with us".

• On Jacob Ramsey: "It's been tough for him this year and last, not being consistent and playing different circumstances. We believe he can recover again - his good form and scoring on Sunday is good for his confidence. Last week he was telling us he was not feeling strong playing three matches in a row."

• On Celtic Emery said: "They are a very prestigious club - they won the European Cup as well. It is a special match for the supporters."

• Villa sit in ninth position in the Champions League table and Emery said: "We have 13 points with the possibility to be in the top eight - we are doing fantastic in the Champions League this year."

• He added: "It's not in our hands but other teams as well have to win tomorrow. I want to play the match and enjoy it with our supporters - we are excited and motivated. At the end of the match we will watch the other results."

• On if it would be good to not have two extra play-off games: "It could be good if we are in the top eight to rest, try to recover players and in training - I want to get into the top eight because it's a good opportunity."
