It seems certain Neil Lennon will ring the changes as he heads into a must-win clash with Motherwell at Fir Park.
The Celtic boss was knocked for six by his side's calamitous showing against Sparta Prague in their 4-1 home defeat on Thursday night.
Now he must decide who he can trust to go out against the in-form Steelmen and produce when the heat is very much on.
His defenders have been performing poorly, especially new boy Shane Duffy, but the manager's options are limited.
While the injury situation that has blighted recent weeks is improving, the game probably comes too soon for Kristoffer Ajer who is working his way back from a groin injury.
Christopher Jullien is set for a return to training after a back problem and the manager will be desperate to pitch the towering Frenchman back into the action, although this match will be surely be beyond him.
Winger Mikey Johnston has been easing his way back into action after a long-term calf injury and is also unlikely to be pitched into the thick of the action on such an occasion.
It leaves James Forrest remaining as the only long-term absentee after the recent ankle surgery that will keep him out for at least six weeks.
Motherwell have a long list of players who won't make the game in Trevor Carson, Sherwin Seedorf, Bevis Mugabi, Rickie Lamie, Charles Dunne, Jake Carrol and Liam Donnelly.
Liam Grimshaw looks certain to return to face the Hoops but Devante Cole's chances appear to be a coin flip after he was injured in last weeks win against Livingston.
