Cameron Carter-Vickers and Maik Nawrocki have both been ruled out for around eight weeks for the champions.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers will look to bring in experience to fill a central defensive void after his injury situation worsened.
Summer signing Nawrocki pulled up with a similar problem in the final seconds of Celtic’s Viaplay Cup defeat at Kilmarnock on Sunday. When asked if he would look for reinforcements in that area ahead of next week’s transfer deadline, Rodgers said: “When you are losing three players for that length of time, and knowing the number of games we will have and the importance of every game, then it’s definitely something we have to look at.”
“We have a lot of young players in the squad but, naturally, to bring those players on, they need to play with players, not just of experience, but players of quality. “But I’ve got absolutely no doubt he will prove over time to be an excellent player for Celtic and he is really up for the challenge.”
There was better news on the injury front for Rodgers with Canada right-back Alistair Johnston training well following an ankle injury and available for Saturday’s cinch Premiership encounter with St Johnstone in Glasgow.
