Although the Glaswegians will be hoping for a reaction from their defeat at the weekend, they will need to do so without some key players.
Ryan Christie’s fine form was brought to an abrupt end when he sustained what looked to be a bad leg injury, however the knock does not look as bad as first feared.
Leigh Griffiths will of course be absent, after announcing he would take a break from football.
Celtic may have slipped up on the road at times this season, but their home form in recent weeks has been as strong as ever.
In their previous three home domestic matches, the club have won all three games against tough opposition like Kilmarnock, Hearts and Hibs.
Perhaps more impressively, they’ve scored 14 goals and conceded just three.
