Celtic will again be without Scott Sinclair when they make the short trip to Fir Park for Saturday’s clash with Motherwell, live on Sky Sports
The Hoops winger suffered a hamstring injury in the Champions League encounter with Barcelona and missed last weekend's 3-0 victory over Aberdeen in the League Cup final at Hampden.
But the absence of Sinclair is augmented by the return to fitness of several Celtic players ahead of the hectic nine-game run in December.
Defender Kolo Tore and striker Leigh Griffiths were both included in the squad at Hampden, with the latter coming off the bench for the final minutes of the match.
Winger Gary Mackay-Steven, midfielders Liam Henderson and Ryan Christie, and right-back Cristian Gamboa are all hoping to play some part against Motherwell.
Manager Mark McGhee has no fresh injury worries as he prepares his Motherwell side for the visit of undefeated Celtic.
Full-back Joe Chalmers is continuing his rehabilitation from a groin operation and the former Hoops youngster misses out again.
Lee Lucas is still absent following a recent knock, while fellow 'Well midfielder Carl McHugh remains on the sidelines following a long spell out through concussion.
