Striker Marc-Antoine Fortune is back in the Celtic squad for the Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Kilmarnock at Parkhead after completing his recovery from a knee injury.
Goalkeeper Artur Boruc and midfielder Scott Brown will again miss out with leg and ankle injuries respectively and are a doubt for next week's Europa League game in Hamburg.
Midfielder Shaun Maloney has tendonitis and will be assessed on Saturday morning while skipper Stephen McManus is suspended after being sent off in the Co-operative Insurance Cup defeat to Hearts in midweek.
