Brendan Rodgers has offered a significant injury update on a quartet of Celtic stars.
The Hoops managed what was a convincing 3-0 victory over Motherwell yesterday afternoon and it was goals from Luke McCowan, Alistair Johnston and Adam Idah which sealed the points.
They did so with Rodgers having made a handful of changes to his lineup with a number of top players and usual early choices on his team sheet being missing through injury.
The likes of Callum McGregor – rested for McCowan – Cameron Carter-Vickers and Greg Taylor sat out from the start at Fir Park with just American CCV being brought onto the field of play towards the end.

Idah, meanwhile, is now in a moon boot after a poor challenge from defender Liam Gordon who was shown a red card in stoppage time and now the manager has provided the latest on the four stars.
When Dundee head to Parkhead on Wednesday evening, Rodgers hopes to have all four back in the mix for a starting spot.
However the Northern Irishman was realistic when it came to the timeline of returns and admitted it might not be possible for all to play a part.
Callum McGregor had an adductor injury and missed Motherwell
“How are the lads coming back from injury? Great,” he told Celtic TV. “We got through yesterday with a really good performance and result.
“We’re obviously analysing and looking at one or two of the guys that took some knocks. Callum we’re waiting to hear back but we think it’s good news with him.
“Adam Idah obviously was on the receiving end of a poor challenge, he still has his foot in a boot at the moment but we’re hoping he got away with that.
Cameron Carter-Vickers, Greg Taylor and Adam Idah are all racing against time to face Dundee
“Cameron Carter-Vickers came in and got some game time which was good for him as he needs to build up that match fitness, and Greg Taylor was on the bench.
“He didn’t feature but it makes them all, hopefully a lot of them, available for Wednesday and we’ll see about one or two others.”
