Celtic boss Neil Lennon has admitted he could be searching for another striker in the January transfer window.
The Irishman made the admission after revealing Vakoun Issouf Bayo is set for a scan on his knee.
The Ivorian is a "major doubt" for Wednesday night’s Ladbrokes Premiership clash with St Mirren at Celtic Park.
And Lennon has been left with just one fit striker in Odsonne Edouard, with Leigh Griffiths still to return.
Asked if a new striker could be on his shopping list, the manager said: "Possibly. Bayo took a knock yesterday so he is a major doubt for tomorrow.
"So we are a little bit short there with only one at the minute Edouard, who is fully fit.
"Bayo is going for a scan today and we are hoping he should be okay for the weekend."
Griffiths has been out since August, with his latest problems being a thigh injury and virus.
But the Scotland star should return to training on Thursday.
Lennon rounded up his other injury news ahead of the visit of Jim Goodwin’s side as he looks for Celtic to retain their place at the top of the table.
The 48-year-old said: "Leigh is back on the grass now. He has been doing some physical work with the fitness coaches and we hope he starts training again on Thursday.
"Tom Rogic has got a little bit of inflammation again around the knee. Christopher Jullien is fine, he had a little bit of a bug but has trained this morning.
"Olivier Ntcham (ankle) is back in training and obviously Ryan Christie comes back into contention as well (after two-game ban)."
