The Hoops will welcome St Mirren to Celtic Park in their final game before the top six Premiership split.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that Daizen Maeda has suffered a nightmare injury - and couldn't give a guarantee he would be back before the end of the season.
And Maeda now faces a race to be fit for the final run-in with Rodgers revealing that he will miss the clash with the Buddies and will now be scrutinised by the Parkhead medical team. The Celtic boss said: "Daizen will miss the weekend and we will just need to see. He has an injury high-up in his hamstring in his tendon and we will have to see what that looks like in the coming weeks.
Liam Scales is also set to miss the visit of Stephen Robinson's side. However, Luis Palma is now ready for selection after missing a number of weeks.
