Charlie Mulgrew is out of Celtic's trip to Inverness on Sunday with a recurrence of a thigh injury.

The Hoops midfielder walked off near the end of the 2-1 Europa League defeat to Ajax at Parkhead on Thursday night signalling his problem after returning for the first time since picking up the injury against Aberdeen in September.

Midfielders Nir Bitton and Stefan Johansen return for the Ladbrokes Premiership encounter in the Highlands after missing the Ajax match through suspension while Kris Commons, out recently with a combination of a hamstring injury and illness, will be assessed on Saturday. Skipper Scott Brown is facing up to three months on the sidelines with a knee injury.

Provisional squad: Gordon, Lustig, Blackett, Ambrose, Bitton, Johansen, Boyata, Tierney, Izaguirre, Forrest, Allan, Armstrong, Rogic, Commons, Cole, Mackay-Steven, Ciftci, Griffiths, Janko, McGregor, Stokes, Bailly.
