CELTIC
Celtic winger Jonny Hayes is likely to miss the rest of the season after breaking his leg in the 2-0 win over Dundee on Boxing Day.
The Irishman has been added to boss Brendan Rodgers' injury list ahead of the visit of Rangers on Saturday although Scott Sinclair returns after recovering from a knock.
Midfielder Tom Rogic is out until the new year with a knee problem, loan winger Patrick Roberts has returned to Manchester City for treatment on a hamstring injury while defender Anthony Ralston remains out as he recovers from a knee problem.
Provisional squad: Gordon, Lustig, Tierney, Gamboa, Simunovic, Sviatchenko, Boyata, Ntcham, Brown, Bitton, Armstrong, McGregor, Forrest, Sinclair, Griffiths, Dembele, Ajer, Edouard, Kouassi, De Vries.
RANGERS
Rangers boss Graeme Murty is hoping midfielder Ryan Jack will pull through in time to face Celtic on Saturday.
Jack came off worst in a challenge with Motherwell defender Cedric Kipre on Wednesday night and had to be carried off on a stretcher with a knee injury - but Murty is not giving up on the player featuring at Parkhead.
Eduardo Herrera should also be available despite suffering a facial knock in another clash with Kipre while Josh Windass returns from suspension.
However, skipper Lee Wallace has had to admit defeat in his bid to return from groin trouble in time for the derby battle while Jak Alnwick, Graham Dorrans (both ankle), Kenny Miller (hamstring) and Jordan Rossiter (knee) are still out.
Provisional squad: Foderingham, Tavernier, Hodson, John, Alves, D Wilson, Cardoso, McCrorie, Holt, Jack, Dalcio, Nemane, Pena, Windass, Morelos, Candeias, Kranjcar, Herrera, Hardie, Beerman, Kelly.
