Celtic have problems in attack for the Co-operative Insurance Cup third-round tie at Falkirk.
Mowbray to rest trio, Falkirk close to full strength
Celtic have problems in attack for the Co-operative Insurance Cup third-round tie at Falkirk.
Georgios Samaras misses out again for Tony Mowbray's men after failing to recover from a shin injury he picked up against Hapoel Tel Aviv in the Europa League last week.
Marc-Antoine Fortune remains sidelined with a knee problem meaning Chris Killen will continue to partner Scott McDonald in attack.
Mowbray is expected to give a rest to the likes of Scott Brown, Shaun Maloney and Andreas Hinkel in order to give some of his fringe players a chance to impress.
Falkirk manager Eddie May hopes to have a full squad available.
Several players suffered knocks during the weekend draw with Hamilton but May will give them until the last moment to prove their fitness.
Scott Arfield may also return after a knock saw him restricted to a late introduction against the Accies.
