Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou promised there would be "no violin playing" if his key men were absent for a monumental showdown with Rangers due to international duty.
But there's no doubt the Australian will be at a disadvantage with a trio of his rhythm section missing for the big one.
Celtic fans know all about the magic that Kyogo and Tom Rogic can provide, the pair have been excellent under Postecoglou this season.
