Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers is a huge doubt for their Scottish Premiership clash with St Johnstone on Saturday due to injury.
The 26-year-old is set to be assessed later this week, with manager Brendan Rodgers confirming a metatarsal issue.
He did not feature in Sunday’s League Cup quarter-final win over Falkirk after missing training during the week.

Speaking after the Falkirk game, boss Brendan Rodgers told Premier Sports: “Cam has been suffering a wee bit with his metatarsal, below his big toe. We gave it a little bit of a period earlier on, a few weeks back, and he was okay.
“He’s got a little bit sore, obviously playing back-to-back games, which is why we’ve given him today free. So, we’ll just assess that and see how that is later in the week.”
It is uncertain whether the US international will return in time for Celtic’s Champions League trip to Borussia Dortmund on 1 October, in what would be a huge blow as the Hoops aim to build on an excellent start to their European campaign following last week's emphatic victory over Slovan Bratislava.
