Four key players missed Celtic's training session this morning just two days before they take on Rangers.
Brendan Rodgers and his coaching staff put the Hoops first team through their paces at Lennoxtown this morning ahead of the derby encounter at Ibrox on Sunday.
However, as per footage captured by Sky Sports, they were without Daizen Maeda, Nicolas Kuhn, Jota and Alistair Johnston.
Rodgers will deliver a full fitness update on his squad when he speaks to the media this afternoon.

So, it remains uncertain for now whether any of the aforementioned players will return in time to feature in the derby, albeit Jota's injury is suspected to be a long-term issue.
This could see either, or both, Yang and James Forrest come into the starting line-up on Sunday, with Adam Idah likely to keep his spot through the middle.
