Celtic vs Hibernian - Monday, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports Football and Main Event
Celtic have 13 players absent under Covid-19 protocols, having been forced to isolate following Christopher Jullien's positive test.
Manager Neil Lennon and assistant John Kennedy have also been deemed close contacts of the defender and have been required to isolate alongside their players.
The Bhoys were already sure to be without central defenders Shane Duffy and Nir Bitton for their Scottish Premiership clash.
Bitton is suspended following his Ibrox red card and Duffy will miss the game after leaving Celtic's Dubai training camp early to deal with a personal matter. The Irishman will return to the squad after Monday's game.
