Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths is rated a doubtful starter for Saturday's Glasgow derby against Rangers at Celtic Park.
Scotland's leading scorer limped off after an hour of the 4-1 victory over Aberdeen last month due to a hamstring injury, which ruled him out of the World Cup qualifier against Malta last weekend.

He has trained with his team-mates this week and manager Brendan Rodgers will review the results of a scan before making a final decision on his participation in the showpiece, which is live on Sky Sports 2.
Kieran Tierney fit to face Rangers following ankle injury
Full-back Kieran Tierney, who also pulled out of Scotland's 5-1 win in Malta, has recovered from a leg injury and is expected to take his place on the left side of the defence with new signing Cristian Gamboa in contention for a start on the right.
Fit-again Lee Wallace to lead Rangers out at Celtic Park
Rangers defender Lee Wallace, like Griffiths and Tierney an absentee when Scotland opened their qualifying account with a convincing win in Malta, has recovered from a calf strain and should lead Mark Warburton's side out at Celtic Park.
And he could be joined in the starting line-up by striker Martyn Waghorn, who has been sidelined since the opening game of the season with a hamstring injury.
Celtic vs Rangers
Central defender Philippe Senderos, who became Warburton's 11th signing of the summer on Deadline Day, is pushing for a domestic debut, but there is no place in the party for Joe Dodoo and Matt Crooks, who continue their recoveries from ankle injuries.
